Yes, that is how they are naturally. The ears are made erect and pointy by surgically cutting them and taping them in place until the cartilage holds them in place. Many owners are leaving them floppy these days.
Dobes have big floppy ears like beagles. Their ears are cropped at an angle so that scar tissue will hold them erect for a more alert and "sharp" look.
Yes. Malta is in Europe so it is not legal to Crop Dobermans Ears In Malta.
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.
Yes. The most successful pair are two Dobermans from this same litter.
Dobermans are dogs, so they live in the same habitat as humans do -- which is everywhere on Earth.
If a dobermans ears are pointy it means the dog has has surgery (cropping) done for their ears to stand and be pointy. A doberman is born with floppy ears and a long tail, but often get surgery to stand the ears and make the tail short.

He is a man with very large, floppy ears.

You can't make a dog's ears floppy if they are supposed to be pointed because their ears, like ours, do contain bones that make the shape of them. True, a dog's ears can't change from points to floppy, but you can change the next generation of dog's ears by breeding the pointed-ear dog with a floppy-ear dog.
