Yes they did...
Ear cropping was banned in Great Britain in 1896 - according to Joan Gordon.
In Leslie William's book, written in 1904 "A manual of toy dogs" - after the ban on ear cropping- you can see the change
A manual of toy dogs; how to breed, rear, and feed them Ears - Small V-shaped, and carried semi-erect or erect, covered with short hair, colour to be of a very deep rich tan.
Before :
Ears, Cut or uncut ; if cut, quite erect ; if not cut, to be small V-shaped and carried semi-erect, covered with short hair ; colour to be a deep, dark tan.
