Boom. There you go. I will also say that ear damage can occur in accidental dog fights that can happen anywhere at any time. No, of course I'm not saying everyone should get their dogs' ears cropped not matter what breed – LOL.
I do know that my last Doberman, Oji, fought with two dogs at the nearby park.It was a somewhat complicated situation which involved me having an argument with the two dogs' owner who is an idiot. He always sped up the street in his Suburban, pulled right up in front of the building and let his two dogs out off leash. One day after he drove too close and fast to Oji and me I confronted him and called him out. He backed down but with a punk attitude.
So, one day after that, I had Oji off leash at that large park doing retrieving and that idiot roared in in his Suburban and let his dogs off leash. Unfortunately, Oji disobeyed and ran over to his two dogs. A dog fight/scrap ensued. I ran over, assuring the man my dog would not hurt his. I put Oji on a heel, and he obeyed that nicely. Then the man was smarting off to me so... I released Oji and he proceeded to fight the guys two dogs again.
I did not see any damage though. This is how it's been with all my Dobes. They don't seem to really do, or receive any damage.
Some days or a couple weeks later, I was at the park with my daughter and this fool is there with dogs off leash and he was talking on the phone. He gets within earshot of us and yells at us that my dog had torn his dog's ear "off." Then he proceeded to shout a profanity in front of my young daughter – like the bastard that he is.
sorry!
