Doberman Pinschers ears are naturally supposed to stay down, but to get the ears to point up you would have to crop the ears. They would have to have a surgery for the cropped ears. Ear cropping should be done by seven or eight weeks of age. The ears will have to be taped which takes four or five months till the dog can have its ears stand up without the assistance of the tape.

Why do dogs get their ears cut off?
People crop ears and dock tails because they think it makes the dog look tougher or more aggressive. It's not a sign that dogs have been in fights - it's more often a cosmetic procedure that has become something of a standard on breeds like Doberman Pinschers and Boxers. It's often done when the dogs are puppies and actually takes a lot of work. Their ears have to be cut, then bandaged, then splinted so they stand up and grow to be that way. The entire process can take 2-3 months, plus a lot of money and vet visits.
