quote:Im sure you are in the same position i was in almost 3 years ago. And do not listen to all the jackasses in here. Cropping doberman ears is in fact very healthy for them and increases their senses. But you need to get it dont between the ges of 8-12 weeks, best at 8-9. If you are past that i would skip it because you most likely wont be able to get them to post. I got his done at 9 weeks and took over 8 months before i was able to stop posting. So here is my pup he is almost 3 now.
Anyone know of a place that's well respected when it comes to getting ears cropped? We just got a doberman puppy and am going to need a place in the next few weeks.
Thanks.
First day i got him.
a few months into posting
towards the end of posting.
First day of no postings. You see how big his ears ar comparted to his head. He wasnt fully grown and his ears looked big. But his head grew into them.
Now here he is looking big and badass
Here is his waiting for hig GF will covers dobe, but she never showed up.
Best I found to do ears was a lady in Houston. Show dogs are sent there from all over the nation. But im not going to Houston. Best i found was the Lady at Magazine street vet in NOLA. I took a gamble because she specialized is danes i believe And she knocked it out of the park. I highly recommend her. If you have any most questions email me privately and ill answer them for you. carramrod.u91@gmail. I can also send you more picks like of the stitches and postings and stuff.

Here's my Cane Corso at around 4 months old. Tail was done by the breeder but I had his ears done. Just my opinion, but it seems to cut back on ear problems.

Just ask a vet who they recommend. IMO a doberman without cropped ears, looks like a hound. I would definitely get it done.
quote:absolutely.
Doberman's with their ears flopping around look plain silly. Cropped ears and docked tails are what makes them look like they do-----regal and a bit intimidating
quote:not really anymore The aggressiveness has been bred out of them. DOnt get me wrong they are still prey driven. My will chase ducks and chickens all day. And i always wondered what he would do to one when he caught it and i saw it recently. He cornered one and the duck froze. So he ran up to it and laid on the ground wagging his stubb asking it to keep running and he loves to chase.
And that is the purpose of these guard dogs isn't it???

quote:i thought it was to the 2nd knuckle? mine is to the 3rd and is about 3-4 inches.....so if you are correct his tail is right. I have always thought it was one bone too long.
docked shortly after birth to meet a 3 inch standard.

That's a beautiful dog Teague!
Thanks! He just turned 8, which is starting to get up there for a dobie. He's the smartest dog I've ever had - smarter than the shepherd I had from world class working lines. He was a great protector for my daughter growing up. She was 5 when we got him. He'd always go out in the back yard with her and keep watch.
Anyway, they're great dogs. Sorry, I'm no help for a cropper in LA. Kuno came from near Atlanta, and that's where his ears were done.
he is 8 man..... you dont have much longer. 8-10 max. Im gonna cry when i lose my buddy. He has been the most loving dog i have ever seen.

Well, going by my experience with my one and only time having a Doberman, and that was in the late 70's, the one I had was very protective and fearless.
A buddy of mine came by to visit and I was in my back shed working on my Harley and he decided to jump my fence and come to see me. I didn't know he was in the yard until I heard him yell for me. The dog let him jump the fence, but just sat there growling at him and not letting him go farther into the yard-----or go back over the fence. Every time he tried to go over the fence she'd stand up and approach him, teeth bared and snarling.
He never did that again.

quote:this happens at my house. if someone he doesnt know is over and they go inside witout us he will follow them and keep watch of them. One time one of my wifes friends came over while he was naping and he woke up and saw her in the kitchen he went in there and pinned her in the kitchen growling till my widfe went in there. She introduced them and he as licking her face not 10 seconds after.

I'd love to get an European Doberman. They are still bred for work and are bulkier.
Posted on 6/18/18 at 4:28 pm to CarRamrod
Had to finally put mine down a few months ago at 11.5. He was going strong and it all went downhill in about 3 months

I really wish I would have had my kangal's ears cropped short. He is always hooking them on the fence or in the lemon trees.

Damn, your Dobe is a pretty good size. I'd love to have a larger one like that.
I'm not sure if you've ever hear of Canis Panthers, but they look a lot like a Doberman, just larger.

It’s a dumb practice and very bloody surgery. And a good reason nobody teaches it in vet school - will be glad to see it die in my lifetime
