Crop Pics - Lets see your style!

[Archer]

Well you know it's hard for most vets to do the ears exactly like a picture you bring in! It's really quite an art form to itself lol I call it weird science! It is also a beauty is in the eye of the beholder too! Some like em short some long some wide some narrow geez we are a hard breed to please but the dobers are happy either wayArchers ears look great to me he's gorgeous

Thanks! I agree completely. As long as he's happy and not disfigured or in pain I am both happy and proud. I did want a bit less bell than she left, but all in all she did a tremendous job. It's weird how you get an idea in your head of how they "should" look when completed. I'm over that now

I really like it! Not too much bell and he has nice deep rich color! He really is a good looking pup.

I'm just waiting until they're done completely. Those long crops take a lot longer to perfect.

I just picked up a male puppy and I'm getting his ears cropped short/ pet/military style. Is it hard to tape them when the crop is shorter? How long does it take to stand with shorter crop and how often do I change the tape?

Thanks

Costa - I responded to this in your intro thread. I hope you will give it careful consideration. Each crop was designed mostly for specific breeds and the military crop was not designed for the Doberman. We are here and will help you with posting and it will be worth it to at least get a medium crop. It much better suits the Doberman head. I hope you will consider changing.

berlin has a medium show crop

for a minute I thought it was a show crop. Beautiful dobie

Medusa when she was 4months old

This was her latest pic on her 7months old..

Those are some crazy long ears!!! Beautiful crop though!

 

[Tabu]

the first two photos were taken when he was about 8.5 months old & his ears look long






This last photo was taken at 12 months old & his head seems to have grown a little larger, so the ears look smaller than they did on earlier photos.
The growth of the skull should always be taken into consideration when cropping.
A crop that looks really long as a puppy will not look so long when the dog grows up.

Hey, where are the 1st two pics??

Hey, where are the 1st two pics??

Not sure, but i think the missing two are these

 

[Tabu]

Nice Dobe! Your words make me feel better about mine then because I feel his ears are a bit long for my liking but as you said, their ears will look smaller as the Dobey grows. I love Dobermans.!!

 

[Tabu]

This is Tabu at 16 weeks. I stated that I didn't want a short crop, while I also didn't want crazy tall ears and so the vet came up with this. When they were 1st cropped I admit I was worried that I wouldn't particularly like them, but now that he is growing bigger by the day, his ears are really starting to suit his face, head and the rest of his body in size. I like this crop now. He is always smiling and growing to be very handsome, that's my boy. .

I guess it's about time I get a couple of Albert posted since he's already 16 months. I still need to find a good front shot, but these should give a pretty good idea of the shape. This is a very long crop and they take a long time to finish up. He still gets breathe rights in his left ear since it will tend to want to flip a little bit when he's running or super alert.

Front shot. I'll replace this one when I find or take a better one since it's not the greatest.

OMG Jan, he is handsome! We haven't been so active for awhile but we miss the dobe-chat fam....i just cannot believe how handsome he is!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Great job!

Here are our girls ears. Our vet has done many crops for many breeds, but he did not fancy the "show cut" for dobermans. I asked for a longer medium cut, however I do think the crop fit our girls, and I am happy with it.
