working Dobermans have their ears cropped so they can’t be grabbed onto...
and that’s the same reason their tails are docked. They were bred to be working guard dogs - a purpose beyond the understanding of sissified do-gooders around the world.
Some breeds normally cropped look fine and do well without a crop. Great Danes for example. Dobies look like derelict black and tan cooh hounds. Absolutely ruins the look, plus the ear problems with big floppy ears. I’m so sick of these do gooders.
