Why do Doberman Pinschers have their ears cropped? First, for the sake of appearance. Doberman Pinschers with cropped ears look more temperamental. Second, ear cropping can greatly improve a dog’s hearing, which is very helpful for guard dogs. In addition, Doberman’s ears are very large, and if they are droopy for a long time, ear mites may breed easily. Ear cropping can effectively reduce the growth of bacteria in the ears. Therefore, as a working dog, Dobermans need to have their ears clipped, but if they are only used as pets, it is not recommended.

First of all, Dobermans with cropped ears look more temperamental and can show a more noble posture. Ear cropping may sound cruel, but it can greatly improve your dog’s hearing. The hearing of dogs with cropped ears can be several times higher than that of uncropped dogs, and some scientists say it can be up to eight times higher. For guard dogs, this is very helpful. As a guard dog, the smallest sound is not allowed to be ignored, which is the basic reason why Doberman Pinschers have their ears cropped in many countries.

From a physiological health perspective, dogs with cropped ears are less likely to develop ear diseases, which can effectively reduce the risk of bacteria breeding in the ears and ear canal diseases. You must know that Doberman's ears are very large. If they are not cut, they will droop in the ear canal for a long time, causing poor ventilation in the ear canal, and it is easy to breed ear mites. In severe cases, the ears will be creased due to the excessive weight of the ears. Therefore, Doberman Pinschers, as working dogs, need to have their ears cropped.

Although Doberman ear cutting surgery is a minor operation, for first-time Doberman owners, post-operative care and ear binding are not easy tasks. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted. Therefore, if it is not a working dog, but just a pet, it is recommended that you choose not to crop the ears or make sufficient preparations before cropping the ears.
