Reply #73: The first Doberman I ever had (late 1970's), [View All]

[Pharlo]

I took it in to get the ears cropped, and the vet wouldn't do it. She told me that if I absolutely wanted it done, she'd give me a list of vets in the area who would do it. Naturally, I asked her why she wouldn't do it. Well, by the time she finished explaining it to me, I was talked out of the procedure. I had one Doberman Pinscher afterwards whose ears I kept intact also. I would have liked them with their tails, but that procedure is done long before the pups are sold.

To me, Doberman Pinschers with their ears cropped just look strange.
