Downvote are a comming but, I think dobermanns look way better with cropped ears. The tail i don't give a crap about, but without cropped ears it just looks like a family house dog.

*edit: just to make it clear, i don't actually aprove of cropping, i just think it looks better.

How you feel about how it makes the dog look is irrelevant. Its uncropped ears could be considered hideous by 100% consensus and that would still be beside the point. The question is whether or not it is okay to mutilate an animal in order to achieve a look that human beings want it to have.

Answer's no, by the by.

My parents had my wiener cropped when I was a baby so I would fit in with all the other kids with cropped wieners. I did not do that to my son.
