Ear posting- Can this be fixed?

I dont think that's necessarily true and it's more a matter of preference really. If you look through the doberman network magazine you will see a lot of straight ears, but you will also see some ears with bend. Which that's all down to preference plus when people decide to stop posting.

Fortunately, the ears aren't described much in the standard other than normally cropped and carried erect. When alert, upper attachment of the ear is level with the plane of the skull. Though I'm glad they aren't described much more than that since vets don't all have the same style!

I wanted to say too, Jax is a really handsome dude! He already looks so mature in the face. I can only imagine how impressive he will be when he's done growing!

Thank you!

Yes it's crazy how quick they grow up!!

These examples are both nice but I'm referring to some with a close together ear set to start with, then they're almost pointing in because they over do it on the posting or use a brace too long. Ripley and Phoebe obviously have the same crop and I like how both of them came out.
