Ear cropping should not be performed after nine weeks of age because the ear cartilage is already set to lay flat and the blood vessels are too large. Performing the procedure at an older age can be risky if not life threatening to your doberman
The doberman breed is succeptable to a neurological disease commonly reffered to as Wobblers. I know this because a dog we care for has noticable shaking and trembling in her neck and ears while fully conscious. It is just a flaw of the breed and I do not think that it is chronic or degenerative.
Yes. They are called coated doberman. This happens when both the parents have the recessive gene for long hair. Many people will swear this cannot happen, and the dog is a mixed breed, but these people have not done the research they should have, to make such an inaccurate statement. Give these beautiful dogs the doberman recognition they deserve. http://www.facebook.com/coateddoberman
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.
all of them except doberman pinscher The boxer and great danes ears also have to be cropped and taped for them to stand up. The only breed listed with naturally erect ears is the Siberian husky
It depends on weather you are doing a military crop, a medium crop or a show crop. The vet will tell you what to do when you pick the dog up from them. you should never crop a dog's ears yourself.
Yes, it is true you can clip a doberman's ears in Malta.

Yes
Can you clip a dog's ears at 6 months? Why would you want to clip your dog's ears??
It is illegal to crop a doberman's ears in Malta because it is considered inhumane to the animal. Veterinarians take an oath similar to the Hippocratic oath in which they say they will "do no harm". Because cropping a doberman's ears is both painful and unnecessary it is considered inhuman and is therefore illegal.
You can dock the tail and crop the ears of a doberman anywhere in the world. The only thing that you might want to do is to make certain that there are no local ordinances against it.
Do you mean after the ears? then it is called the bridle path. you would clip it as long as the horse's ears.
those insects are called earwigs,and they do not crawl into ears and nest.
In my opinion the Doberman..

They do it when they feel threatened, or when they're about to snap at you.
