[MillerJ]

I'm a pretty average guy with a "few" animals. In my zoo I have one adult female tort named Sheldon that I thought was a male till she was 3 years old. I got on the forums because I fell down the night box rabbit hole, now I need to build one. I'll throw up some pics so you guys can get to know the family or at least some of them.

She is an albino doberman. My male is also a doberman, but he is a red and rust without his ears doneo,so mostpeople don't realize he is a dobe.

To all of you who get the error message when opening pictures, or who have trouble opening pictures:

When I report things like this to Josh, here's what he says to me, "I can tackle these issues but it'll be a lot easier if they're not all over the place. As always, links, screenshots, etc will be very helpful. The more info the better."

There is a section where you can report trouble:

Mine doesn't have her ears clipped either. Most people ask if she's a weimaraner.

I work with a local doberman rescue so I get mine "as is". I do perfer the tail done, but it's crazy to me to deal with people that don't want a dog because the ears aren't cropped. I would say it's like 60% of people looking at our rescue dogs only want them if they have been cropped.

 

[Yvonne G]

This is my fifth or sixth doberman. We always had their ears cropped, but the older I got, the harder it was for me to stomach what the pup had to go through. I won't do it again.

I appreciate the look but like you it seems hard on puppies. Plus avoiding the stereotype of dobes is nice. People seem to not realize it's a dobe without the ears done. Like you I've had my dog mistaken for other breeds. I get pointer a lot.
