Why do people clip Doberman Pinscher's ears?

It is actually illegal in Europe to crop their ears. But it is done because it helped to prevent the ears from being torn when the dogs were working as guards, etc. Now, they must be cropped a certain way to be allowed in AKC shows in the U.S. Also, some people believe it makes them look more intimidating. I just wanted to add to above answer. I do understand it is not medically necessary, but to say there are no benefits is not true. Dogs with floppy ears are more prone for ear infections because they don't "air out" well. My last dog (not a Dobie) had floppy ears and he was miserable most of the time. We cleaned his ears religiously, had him on meds and he still had yeast infections and such in his ears often. If we didn't watch him, he'd tear the inside of his ears from scratching. It isn't this bad in all floppy eared dogs, but it is a possibility.
