I agree she is beautiful and the ears look fantastic! I can see a little difference in the bells now, but I bet you'll barely notice as she grows into them.
 
image.webp Ugh. After 3rd posting... it is really obvious now the discrepancy in crop between the ears the Left is absolutely perfect... the Right looks like a Bat!.. i am really bummed about this. The choice to crop her was a very difficult one for us, and now i wish we didn't do it.
I widened the right backer rod to compensate for the larger bell, but does anyone know of any posting technique to help make it look less different? She still is beautiful to me, i just feel bad putting her through the whole process for it to turn out less than perfect. :(
 
Her ears look cute :) I really don't see yo much of a difference ! You'll think differently after awhile and be happy you got her cropped! Lol look at that pouty adorable face !!!! Her ears are looking really good :)
 
She's adorable and I think they look really nice. I agree that there isn't much difference and I probably wouldn't have noticed at all of you didn't mention it. I also agree that you won't regret having them done after your done posting because she's going to look really good with this crop as an adult too.

As stated, you can have it corrected too. I'm not sure, but perhaps a smaller backer rod on that ear might give it more of a curve so you couldn't even notice any difference.

Thank you everyone for kind words and support!! @JanS : Which ear should i put the smaller rod on?
 
Is that because you want the bell to coil into a tighter/more narrow curve to make it look smaller?
Yes, and as she grows into the ears it will be less noticeable anyway because they do sort of look like bat ears when you first start posting.
You can see how much wider Della's ears looked at first compared to now.
Ears front better may 22 09 sized.webp

@JanS OMG those pics are TOO CUTE!!! And i totally see what you mean!!!! Much thanks to all!!!
On a side note.. i contacted my breeder and sent her the pics.. she was pissed and called and sent the pics to the Vet immediately. She told me that the vet was going to get back to her with a response and she'd let me know asap. I think a big decision will be coming soon!
 
We tend to all over evaluate our dogs appearance when they are growing. I could pick out differences in how the ears are cut when I was posting. It is like when you get a new car and you are washing it, you come across a scratch or ding and it drives you crazy. Everytime you look at it, that is all you see, yet everyone else just sees a beautiful new car (or beautiful Doberman puppy). I think your puppy is beautiful, there will always be some distinguishing marks that define our dogs appearance. Everyone on hear probably has something they have noticed on there dog at one time or another, it is what makes them who they are.
