Yeah, I never realized quite how many people were under the impression that Dobe ears were just small and upright naturally, until I started having to explain it.
I was pretty much on the fence as far as having them cropped, but then when my older Dobe began declining fast and requiring a lot of my time for the vet visits and extra effort to keep her comfortable, dealing with cropping & posting and such on the puppy was right out, it was the last thing on my mind since I just didn't have the time & focus to make sure I was doing the post-crop care & posting well.
I love the way both natural and cropped ears look. Dobes wear just about any look really well, they're all adorable.
Though I really have to wonder, if folks think that the natural ears aren't, what do they think is going-on with uncropped dogs? Do they think there are ear extensions attached to the Dobe's head so it can go incognito?
I was pretty much in the same boat of not having the time to take care of the post-op properly. I was in my senior year of college and working full time and being a daddy. I didn't want to risk her health.
Most people I meet think the dogs ears are naturally thin and they stand up. So a Dobe with uncropped ears is a different breed.
. I really enjoy when she stares at me in the park. I see people get nervous. I have say "she is a lover not a fighter."

One more video of Baba at the park... he was playing with two dogs one of whom he had never met and it was a male and the male kept snapping at and showing some dominance towards Baba anytime he came near my friend Karen.... so I wanted to see what Baba would do and he was a Prince as usual! NO issues at all, NO aggression at all and that male was really pushing his limit with Baba.... My polish Prince was a totally solid unaffected boy the whole time! Had a blast chasing and retrieving a ball and playing with my friends female dog Jennifer... it was a great 2 hours!

That's a nice one-week growth spurt, unless River had just gotten a bath or accidentally had a bucket of water dumped on her!
She also looks like such a comfortable pillow.

Ha ha! I took it later in the evening so there's probably a little of her dinner in that measurement. Spock was being so sweet to her that night. Sometimes he looks like he just adores her...and then he chews her head.

I had a momentary panic when Kira jumped on the scale today. She only weighed-in at 51 lbs! But as it turned out, she had probably been playing on the scale and moved one of the counterbalance sliders that are for "adding" capacity for weighing heavier stuff.

Is he named after the show Archer? We were thinking about naming our next pair after the show with the male being Archer and the female Lana.

Yes he is...kinda. The kennel he came from was Sterling Dobermans. His mom was Sasha Sterling and his dad Sterling Solomon . We couldn't pass it up. I think a pair named Archer and Lana would be great. We are still toying with Archer's papered name, but so far that's all that has stuck.
