Cropping ears is not allowed in Germany since 1998. The reason is very simple: there is no evidence that cropped ears prevent any desease / infection / injury. Same with tail docking. On the other hand: the dog suffers much more pain (physical and mental) from castration, nevertheless castration is totally common. So everyone that has a castrated dog and complains about cropped ears stfu. Greetings from Germany :)
I love how people call cropping ears animal abuse, yet you can circumcise a young male human being and they don't give give a shit haha. If cropping ears (a procedure that in cutting off a flap of skin) is animal abuse then clearly circumcision is child abuse and we should ban that. Don't these people have better things to do besides complain about you doing what you want with your animal? The procedure is done under sedation and it is less painful than spaying/neutering. He's a beautiful dog
I'm tired of these left wing, tree hugging, socialist dicks trying to tell us what we can and can't do. cropping and docking is performed under professional supervision. When you (yes you left leaning socialist motherfuckers) realize you can't prevent the actual criminals and animal abusers who physically beat or abuse their pets everyday, you turn to law abiding people to pick on, because those are the only one you can attempt to impose your views on.
@neil182sr <--- "GORDON BENNET"!!!!!! These tree-hugging loons are 'As queer as a nine bob note' and can and will 'Talk the hind legs off a donkey'......... 'Im surprised that most haven't 'Popped their cloggs' in frustration.
Cropping ears is like piercing your baby's ears. They have nothing to do with health its just norms and cultural customs. They are minimally painful but considered standard. To each his own. Although anesthetic would be nice :)
I have 3 Dobermans,and have had all of their ears done. They are happy and healthy,and beautiful dogs! I have learned the hard way,that putting a video on you tube ,opens you up to a barrage of idiots,who comment on things they know nothing about! So, I commend you for having a beautiful,Dobie pup,and for having the sense to get the ears done,to be a true Doberman. It's amazing to me,to read the comments on here...that they are more about a penis,then the cropping of your dog's ears!
@suzy9799 justify the cropping to me, and i do know what i'm talking about. It's animal cruelty at it's core, the dog doesn't have a choice in the matter.
Me and my family are currently waiting for our Doberman puppy. Yes, we are having the ears cropped, but it is for the benefit of the dog itself. The problem with floppy ears is it is a main target when dogs play. (My dog used to go after my boxer's floppy ears all the time.) Serious damage and pain can be done to the dog, anything from ripping their ears off while playing, or getting it caught in bushes etc. With the ears up, they are out of the way and safer. It's for the dog's benefit. :)
Ear cropping is considered the breed standard for many purebred dogs, including the Doberman, but purebred dogs are not required to have cropped ears according to the AKC Standards. Cropping can also help eliminate potential health problems due to long, floppy ears, such as ear mites and infections. Its just safer and healthier for the breed.
@LOKISlog7 that is a crock of shite, it is not safer and healthier for the breed, no study even says that. it is illegal in most civilised countries as it's animal cruelty, they need there ears and tails for communication. It is not a breed standard and is only done for physical reasons. This operation has killed many pups due to them dying under anaesthetic, it also causes them a lot of pain and distress. The KC doesn't allow cropped dogs in any dog show in my country.
@neil182sr "Whats this then".... Another left-leaning, tree-hugging, nose far too big; to stick in other peoples business, peta quoting united kingdomer.......
"Stone the crows'! It's always the same word for word brochure silly silly UK shite! Gee; all 6 that we owned were Cropped and Docked; didn't die from anesthesia; didn't have any problems communicating with family or other K9s, and suffered no emotional damage, or HAD years of psychiatric therapy to cope w/DnC - Keep your pecker up
@LOKISlog7 What's this?? Another right wing, god fearing, people exterminating psychopathic American idiot... (By the way ellipses have three dots)
I'm not against docking breeds that are prone to getting broken tails, but ear docking is purely a cosmetic surgery that has no purpose in the 21st century. All breeds have the same susceptibility to ear infections and cropping has no benefit than cleaning your dogs ears. Cropping was only done to specific protective breeds. IT IS ANIMAL ABUSE!
i want the ears up cuz it looks mean i need a guard dog and i want it to look bad a s s but i feel bad i dont want them to get hurt....same with the tail
I like the cropped ears but I wish people left the tails long. Who wants a pathetic little stump wagging at you when you come home? All dogs look better with tails.
@killertr I disagree, I love our corgi's little stump tail. We have a dobe mix, and her tail is always hitting things and knocking objects over.. I wish her tail had been docked.
Ok ear cropping can actually serve a purpose... Now ive actually seen people try and open a business to pierce dogs ears.. Now THAT I dont agree with as it serves no real purpose!! Dog shows and ear infections can and are good reasons to crop ears
you freaks wtf u spiked its ears up which envolves cutting the ear and a lot of pain u guys are normal yeah f off you crule pigs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@onzatpro1 i am willing to bet that the owners know a whole lot more about the actual process of ear-cropping than they do. you don't just say "you know what would be fun? to get our dogs' ears cropped! it'll put him through lots of pain! great, let's do it". you research the topic, you weigh your options, and in the end, it's the owners choice. no it is really not that painful and the discomfort only lasts for a very short while. i personally like natural ears, but still.
Ok, wow, that person who said a german person shouldn't complain about "barbaric behaviour" cause of world war 2, better not be a woman, cause in that case, why did you have to eat the damn apple?!
And, cute dog. Too bad he has to go through a certain amount of discomfort and pain, but hey, at least he looks pretty, huh.
everyone says cropping ears hurts! and I believe it does. when I made myself an earing on the upper side of the ear, that little hole hurt like hell to, so don' say it doesn't hurt. it's your decision, I know if I had a doberman, I'd really like cropped ears on the dog cos it looks so badass, i confess. but still, if the dog had a choice, he wouln't want it. GORGEOUS dog tho!
@lunatic8364 Difference is you got your ear pierced without pain medication a dogs not held down than has its ear sliced off.. They are under sedation its supposed to be done when they are young and nerve endings ect arent as developed i.e tails ect.. The pain isnt that bad in any case... you think ear piercing hurts get a microdermal than come talk to me
hola tengo un doberman y me gustaria k me dijieran como ponerle una cosas de esas a mi perro me refiero a lo de las orejas me gustaria ponerle el corrertor de orejas pero con el ALAmbre de arriba
Cropping a dogs ear isnt useless. It depends what you wish to do with the dog. P.s it doesnt even bug them. They are knocked out while its done given pain meds after and by the time the meds wear off they dont even notice. Its less pain to crop ears and dock tail for puppies than it is to have them fixed when they are older!!!
a true breed is bfor u giv them cosmetic surgery and tamper jus for the sake ov u prefer it if they look this way. and not for ther health !. how would u like it if i decided i dont like the way u look so i choped of the end ov ur nose bcoz i thort it was to long. U wouldnt do it to a baby.. so why do it to a puppy.
@AmeliaRoseJewell You have to be the dumbest person alive. Before you decide to cut someone up because of the dogs ears maybe you should learn to spell and type proper. Then maybe you can chirp. 2nd what the hell is cropping a dogs ears have to do with cutting a babys nose off you idiot? If you dont like the way they look then dont watch the damn video....
@AmeliaRoseJewell you are the perfect example of an ignorant idiot with no knowledge on this topic tring to talk shit.The breed standard is cropped ears and docked tail,thats the way louie doberman created the breed,and for several reasons.Also a floppy ear is not natural for any domestic or wild canine.It was bred in by humans for hunting dogs to better contain a scent to their nose.
for people that dont understand, cropping ears and docking tails is a tradition for dobermans. gives them a more dominant presence. and if you are going to do a dog show, dobermans are required to have it done.
@Deanna405 it's just some places and organizations have different rules and regulations. i personally like the floppy ears, but i used to work as a stage crew member for dog shows, and they always had the dobermans fixed up like that. i dont agree with it because my doberman has a long tail and floppy ears, but i dont disagree with it because some people stick to tradition
@guitarhero2211@guitarhero2211 I like a Dober with a long tail and cropped ears, but I don't think I could have the heart to have surgery on a Dober pup, just because MY taste says so. And again, it's prohibited in my country. But I still like them best with the short, cropped ears.
BTW. Did you know that, exept from elephants, NO amimal has floppy ears? Floppy ears are extremely unnatural. It's bred by humans. Floppy ears can get infected and damaged very easily.
5 STARS and THUMBS UP to the cropprd ears and docked tail. It never ceases to amaze me how these moronic tree-hugging left-wing loonies are against cropping and docking; calling it mutilation (LOL) yet they support the cutting off of testicles and and the removal of ovaries. Guess thats not mutilation smh........
Your dog is beautiful. I really like what is keeping his ears up.What is it? Did the vet give you that? Because when we got our doberman's ears done, he only used tape.
srsly...i dont see the big deal in cropping ears...its really the owners choice. dogs get there benefits from cropping too. people think that they go through a hell lot of pain cropping but for a matter of fact they don't, its only the taping and band that will irritate them and hurt a little. and its not even on for ages.
i've got nothing against cropping but id personally just rather leave em natural coz becuase i dont see the purpose if they're not a working dog but a companion.
@ISMELLNOOBCAKE There is no ... yes NO evidence that dogs will benefit from such barbaric behavior .... these lies about prevention of infections etc. are just fairy tales told by retarded animal abusing fucks that just want a dog of a certain breed to show off ....
In many european countrys it is forbidden by law for a reason .... your hurt your dog for your own selfish desires I hope you geht cropped one day or get cancer thx for your time
@ISMELLNOOBCAKE My dad cropped my dogs ears and it hurt me alot because my dog was in huge pain and for the first time didn't care what we were doing because of the huge pain he felt
@deanvella69 well dumbass you should read the comment I said again, becauser you obviously didn't understand it I said that I personally saw that he was feeling an extreme pain, not that the vet told me he was he was going to feel a big amout of pain.
@ISMELLNOOBCAKE I dont really see the big deal in cutting human ears up, they benefit from it! People think that the people getting their ears cut go through a lot of pain but they dont! its only the irritation of the bandages after thats really bad. Its not like its on forever.
@endauthority babies in other countries like middle east get circumcised everyday.
Circumcision occurs because its believed to be more pure and prevent diseases. same with dog ear cropping. So if your going to be concerned, be concerned for those kids getting their penis skin cut off.
and off topic, looking at ur page and the comments you get, u seem like troll.
@TheMeloFelo You see? I can respect people's opinions on the look of the ears when they conduct themselves like you do. If you like the floppy ears better, that's fine! But when people go commando and begin making false accusations about cropping dog ears, saying it's cruel and inhumane, that's when I get pissed off. It's not people's opinions I hate, it's their "I don't like it so you can't do it," attitudes that I hate.
@TheMeloFelo I'm against both really. I haven't done any research, but tail banding seems illogical. Because tails serve a specific function in animals that have them.
@ogporage Well in some instances dogs have been known to continually get broken there fore spend the 1 time fee to dock or the continous fee to have the dog vetted for a broken tal?
@savannahsmom1985 thanks for the education, but it seems as though your a bit unsure if it is cool or not also. here is why:
"in SOME instances"
"BEEN Known"
"THEREFORE spend a one-time fee"
....all this is a matter of "IF."
you should provide some statistics on this if you want people to understand, even then I would argue that it is thanks to our inbreeding. my conclusion stays the same.
very good dog though, looks like he's got a great dispostion.
@ogporage I made that comment because I know someone whos dog broke their tail several times in the span of a year and had their tail docked because it was easier than forking out money continuously to repair her tail and easier than putting her thru that several times. So no I am not on the fence of whether its cool or not I speak from experience. Does that clear it up for you now????
@ogporage What that someone I know had this happen to them? Why would I lie whom are you that I need to prove anything to? The fact that none of my 3 dogs are docked and have their ears in tact should speak enough. One breed is even a breed that most do dock and clip ears and she remains in tact. I do with purpose not with what I think looks good. I fix my dogs to keep them from getting cancer Id dock my dogs tail if it kept getting broken. No other reasons for my choices!!
Everyone, stop bitching on ear cropping and tail docking! What's done is done! And also, I've heard WORSE things done to animals, let alone dogs. Compare ear cropping to what east asia does to dogs, this is nothing. So please, if this so called "animals abuse" really angers and upsets you THIS much then go do animals volenteering or donate money for animals that had ACTUAL neglect. -_- Terds.......
Sad that us as humans are content to disfigure our pets in the name of conformity to a set of arbitrarily decided "standards". Just because something is prevelant, does not make it morally acceptible. The whole "less area to target" defense is a total crock of shit.
hahaha , this is soo cool , my dober man is 2.3 months old and he does the same tricks and look exactly the same with the same color , i might make a video , stay tuned!, nic vid.
you fooz are stupid mother fukers man its just a vedio man and evey dober men owner crops the ears i have 6 of them and yes when they grow up they become guard dogs
@vOPCv WOW! a death threat from a german, where the breed originated, along with the standards of what the dog was meant to look like. Let's not even get into what your people have done to the world.
@defendinyaface Tell me one reason, why cutting parts of their bodies! Yeah, because people think, they look better so... What would be, if your ears were cut and you would have to walk arround with ugly ears??? Yes, very nice...
@vOPCv Actually, the comment comparing cropping a dog's ears to circumcision is a really good analogy. Just as circumcision helps prevent infection and other discomfort, so does cropping a Dobe's ears.
It helps the ears dry faster and more efficiently, which helps minimize the risk of infection. It's also good for the dog if they're guarding something or someone.
What I mean by that is, it gives the offending party (another dog, person, etc.) less to "target". In short, it minimizes a weak point of defense by allowing the ears to fall back flatter on the doberman's head. Much like a rugby player taping their ears down or wearing a headband over their ears.
It does serve a purpose, but it's completely optional to the owner. To each their own.
@streifenpanda When a dogs ears are flopped over it traps moisture in there causing a yeast infection.. Dogs with really long ears are prone to these. If you have a dog with floppy ears and he smells like a cheesie youve got an ear infection on your hands!
@savannahsmom1985 I have a Golden Retriever, his ears have always been red and irritable. I'll get them clean for a bit and it's back to it. I personally know vets who crop ears and the procedure is done under sedation, the recovery is a little uncomfortable (for a day or two) but NOT painful at all. Dobie looked best with cropped ears, I can't wait to own one - they are galliant german thoroughbreds, who are not vicious but loyal and loving.
Wow! Very impressive, especially at that age. We just got our Dobe, so we need to work on obedience. He's the same age as your guy. I know they are very smart dogs, so I hope he catches on like yours!
I dont know why people make such a fuss over haveing a dogs ears cropped when its not even their dog. Its the owners choice to crop or not crop, not some random ass hole on the internet.
@psChrystine lol fail reply. When people get their ears pierced they choose to have it done. When a puppy has its ears sliced apart its against it's will....
@Lauratomo ok than picket outside a hospital against circumcision. Thats even MORE painful than cropping the ears. Oh and i guess your against neutering/spading also? Isnt that a form of mutilation too? Jesus, you can see the cropped ears dont bother them at all, do you see then whimpering and whining in pain? No, so please stop complaining about it on other people's videos, whats done is done, the owners dont give a dam about what you constantly cry about in probably every Doberman video.
@psChrystine Nah circumcision is performed for the benefit of the person usually. My dad's side of the family are Jewish and I think circumcision for religions reasons is pointless and cruel on the child too. Also spaying and neutering is to stop hormonal distress like pining for bitched on heat and having phantom pregnancies etc so that's cool. cropping of the ears THESE DAYS is purely for cosmetic reasons. Therefore unnecessary and cruel in my opinion. P.S. Successful troll is successful ;]
@psChrystine Actually Ear Cropping does hurt the dogs. Dont get me wrong I believe that most dogs look better with it done, Dobermans, pitbulls, great danes etc... But dont be fooled my wife's boss does them all the time and he said "HE" would never get it done to his dog because of the pain. The first 3 to 5 days are very painful for them., most people just get skimmish or something and have to bicker about it.
@TerrorWhiteNoise It is a Doberman - it needs to sleep with you, be with you, do all the silly and not silly things you ask to it. Get a clue. Get one of our rescue shirts: I KISS MY DOBERMAN ON THE LIPS!
I dont understand why people even give a fuck about ear cropping. Even if it isnt necessary, it helps reduce infection and its not like it is painful for the dog so who cares? Plus Dobs imo look better with pointy ears.
Docking tails, however, i disagree with because it is pointless now and dogs should have tails.
Just an fyi to those who don't know this about cropping its beneficial to the dogs it prevents ear infections as well and dobies are pron to infections so it may hurt them temporarily but it [prevent future ongoing pain plus it makes them look more dignified..so tree hungers do your damn research before you go on a animal cruelty rampage its is better for them health-wise to get them cropped i have videos up of my dobies watch and enjoy my boys
@mdkid90 well your vet would advise you on how long to keep them taped/cropped but its usually just long enough so that the dogs hold them up on their own its basically like training the ear to stand up a few months usually does it ive owned several dobies and all were different sometimes one ear will stand when the other does not
I think he's adorable. :) For those of you who are unaware, the doberman breed was meant to have cropped ears and docked tails. It's part of the genetic makeup. If u don't crop their ears they have a better chance at ear infections (when we got our girl she wasn't cropped yet and had an infection) and their tails are weaker (one of dogs actually broke their tail while playing so I do know tail breaking happens). Don't diss the breed. U don't like it, go get a lab.
Cropping ears is not allowed in Germany since 1998. The reason is very simple: there is no evidence that cropped ears prevent any desease / infection / injury. Same with tail docking. On the other hand: the dog suffers much more pain (physical and mental) from castration, nevertheless castration is totally common.

U wouldnt do it to a baby.. so why do it to a puppy.

@AmeliaRoseJewell You have to be the dumbest person alive. Before you decide to cut someone up because of the dogs ears maybe you should learn to spell and type proper. Then maybe you can chirp. 2nd what the hell is cropping a dogs ears have to do with cutting a babys nose off you idiot? If you dont like the way they look then dont watch the damn video....

@AmeliaRoseJewell
Actually, it's done to baby boys all the time...circumcision.
Babies/children also get a steel needle thrust through their earlobes so their parents can hang decorations from their ears.
How barbaric are those?
How many men do you know who can remember their foreskin being snipped as a baby?
So why do you think a baby dog will remember being cropped and docked?
My c/d dobie has no hangups about being touched on his tail or ears-even with scissors when being trimmed.

@AmeliaRoseJewell you are the perfect example of an ignorant idiot with no knowledge on this topic tring to talk shit.The breed standard is cropped ears and docked tail,thats the way louie doberman created the breed,and for several reasons.Also a floppy ear is not natural for any domestic or wild canine.It was bred in by humans for hunting dogs to better contain a scent to their nose.

for people that dont understand, cropping ears and docking tails is a tradition for dobermans. gives them a more dominant presence. and if you are going to do a dog show, dobermans are required to have it done.

@Deanna405 it's just some places and organizations have different rules and regulations. i personally like the floppy ears, but i used to work as a stage crew member for dog shows, and they always had the dobermans fixed up like that. i dont agree with it because my doberman has a long tail and floppy ears, but i dont disagree with it because some people stick to tradition

@guitarhero2211 @guitarhero2211 I like a Dober with a long tail and cropped ears, but I don't think I could have the heart to have surgery on a Dober pup, just because MY taste says so. And again, it's prohibited in my country. But I still like them best with the short, cropped ears.
BTW. Did you know that, exept from elephants, NO amimal has floppy ears? Floppy ears are extremely unnatural. It's bred by humans. Floppy ears can get infected and damaged very easily.

srsly...i dont see the big deal in cropping ears...its really the owners choice. dogs get there benefits from cropping too. people think that they go through a hell lot of pain cropping but for a matter of fact they don't, its only the taping and band that will irritate them and hurt a little. and its not even on for ages.
i've got nothing against cropping but id personally just rather leave em natural coz becuase i dont see the purpose if they're not a working dog but a companion.

@endauthority babies in other countries like middle east get circumcised everyday.
Circumcision occurs because its believed to be more pure and prevent diseases. same with dog ear cropping. So if your going to be concerned, be concerned for those kids getting their penis skin cut off.

It's not people's opinions I hate, it's their "I don't like it so you can't do it," attitudes that I hate.

@savannahsmom1985 thanks for the education, but it seems as though your a bit unsure if it is cool or not also. here is why:
"in SOME instances"
"BEEN Known"
"THEREFORE spend a one-time fee"
....all this is a matter of "IF."
you should provide some statistics on this if you want people to understand, even then I would argue that it is thanks to our inbreeding. my conclusion stays the same.
very good dog though, looks like he's got a great dispostion.

@ogporage I made that comment because I know someone whos dog broke their tail several times in the span of a year and had their tail docked because it was easier than forking out money continuously to repair her tail and easier than putting her thru that several times. So no I am not on the fence of whether its cool or not I speak from experience. Does that clear it up for you now????

The fact that none of my 3 dogs are docked and have their ears in tact should speak enough. One breed is even a breed that most do dock and clip ears and she remains in tact. I do with purpose not with what I think looks good. I fix my dogs to keep them from getting cancer Id dock my dogs tail if it kept getting broken. No other reasons for my choices!!
savannahsmom1985 9 months ago
Everyone, stop bitching on ear cropping and tail docking! What's done is done! And also, I've heard WORSE things done to animals, let alone dogs. Compare ear cropping to what east asia does to dogs, this is nothing. So please, if this so called "animals abuse" really angers and upsets you THIS much then go do animals volenteering or donate money for animals that had ACTUAL neglect. -_- Terds.......

@vOPCv Actually, the comment comparing cropping a dog's ears to circumcision is a really good analogy. Just as circumcision helps prevent infection and other discomfort, so does cropping a Dobe's ears.
It helps the ears dry faster and more efficiently, which helps minimize the risk of infection. It's also good for the dog if they're guarding something or someone.
runfromnuke 1 year ago
@vOPCv (Continued)
What I mean by that is, it gives the offending party (another dog, person, etc.) less to "target". In short, it minimizes a weak point of defense by allowing the ears to fall back flatter on the doberman's head. Much like a rugby player taping their ears down or wearing a headband over their ears.
It does serve a purpose, but it's completely optional to the owner. To each their own.
runfromnuke 1 year ago
You obviously know nothing about dogs. Do your research before you make rude comments.
First of all, how could you "arrest" a dog? and secondly, german shepherds and dobermans have completely different dispositions and personalities.
I dont know what you dont understand about the fact that it reduces ear infections, do some research if you dont understand.

@streifenpanda When a dogs ears are flopped over it traps moisture in there causing a yeast infection.. Dogs with really long ears are prone to these. If you have a dog with floppy ears and he smells like a cheesie youve got an ear infection on your hands!
savannahsmom1985 1 year ago
@savannahsmom1985 I have a Golden Retriever, his ears have always been red and irritable. I'll get them clean for a bit and it's back to it. I personally know vets who crop ears and the procedure is done under sedation, the recovery is a little uncomfortable (for a day or two) but NOT painful at all. Dobie looked best with cropped ears, I can't wait to own one - they are galliant german thoroughbreds, who are not vicious but loyal and loving.

@Lauratomo ok than picket outside a hospital against circumcision. Thats even MORE painful than cropping the ears. Oh and i guess your against neutering/spading also? Isnt that a form of mutilation too? Jesus, you can see the cropped ears dont bother them at all, do you see then whimpering and whining in pain? No, so please stop complaining about it on other people's videos, whats done is done, the owners dont give a dam about what you constantly cry about in probably every Doberman video.
psChrystine 1 year ago 2
@psChrystine Nah circumcision is performed for the benefit of the person usually. My dad's side of the family are Jewish and I think circumcision for religions reasons is pointless and cruel on the child too. Also spaying and neutering is to stop hormonal distress like pining for bitched on heat and having phantom pregnancies etc so that's cool. cropping of the ears THESE DAYS is purely for cosmetic reasons. Therefore unnecessary and cruel in my opinion. P.S. Successful troll is successful ;]
Lauratomo 1 year ago
@psChrystine Actually Ear Cropping does hurt the dogs. Dont get me wrong I believe that most dogs look better with it done, Dobermans, pitbulls, great danes etc... But dont be fooled my wife's boss does them all the time and he said "HE" would never get it done to his dog because of the pain. The first 3 to 5 days are very painful for them., most people just get skimmish or something and have to bicker about it.

I dont understand why people even give a fuck about ear cropping. Even if it isnt necessary, it helps reduce infection and its not like it is painful for the dog so who cares? Plus Dobs imo look better with pointy ears.
Docking tails, however, i disagree with because it is pointless now and dogs should have tails.

mdkid90 1 year ago
@mdkid90 well your vet would advise you on how long to keep them taped/cropped but its usually just long enough so that the dogs hold them up on their own its basically like training the ear to stand up a few months usually does it ive owned several dobies and all were different sometimes one ear will stand when the other does not
Lunisa42087 1 year ago
I think he's adorable. :) For those of you who are unaware, the doberman breed was meant to have cropped ears and docked tails. It's part of the genetic makeup. If u don't crop their ears they have a better chance at ear infections (when we got our girl she wasn't cropped yet and had an infection) and their tails are weaker (one of dogs actually broke their tail while playing so I do know tail breaking happens). Don't diss the breed. U don't like it, go get a lab.
