Dobies.....

I have been really fascinated with Dobies for about a week and have fallen in love. Sadly, my mom doesn't go for that. No matter what method I try. I wanted to know your opinion on cropping and docking. I like natural ears and tails. What do you think?

Dobermans have always been a favorite of mine but Mark's never cared for them or otherwise we'd have one right now;) They are a very sweet and lovable breed.

I honestly think if I had one I wouldn't do the docking although I do love the look of it.

My mom is the same. She thinks they're to big. But I am going to try and get one. I fell in love with one on petfinder.

I clicked i like one of them wich is cropping the ears. I LOVE LOVE LOVE dogs with erect ears. And have to admitt they look adorable as puppies with those things that crop there ears

This has been discussed many times. A lot of people are for cropping/docking, a lot are against.

Personally, I prefer all dogs with their natural body parts.

i like both ways :)
One of my kids doggie friends is a red Doberman with cropped ears,he looks gorgeous with them.I like natural ears too.

I couldnt tell ya. I like both. I think a lot of dogs look ADORABLE with it, and they look great with out it, I guess it just depends.

I wouldn't do either. I prefer the natural look.

:D Thanks for the opinions, guys!

I like the look of cropping and docking and I LOVE dobies :D

Me to! Espacially, beautiful Maggie! :D

I prefer cropped and docked Dobermans.
but either is fine. :)

I think they are beautiful dogs reguardless of how their ears/tails are. But I don't think it's right to cut of parts of an animal simply because you prefer the look. Like Kay said the subject has been argued enough though.

Personally, I'm neither against or for docking and cropping. I prefer the appearance of all natural Dobes though. This entire topic has been posted over and over again though, I'm sure if you do a search tons of these threads will come up. Alyssa, have you done a lot of research on the breed? If not, I suggest you do so as they're certainly not a breed for everyone and they can come with quite a few health issues......
