Gradually docked tails and ears have become the determinants for exterior features of Doberman dog breed. One has to agree that short tail and highly set, having beautiful shape cropped ears create special inimitable image of Doberman–on the one hand, unusually pretty, on the other one-horrendous, slightly demonic. Despite the fact that FCI approved "full-value" of Doberman with undocked ears still some years ago, the tradition of docking the ears is actual in many countries nonetheless. However, as a consequence of activity of Defenders of Animals the number of countries where the prohibition against ear cropping is imposed ever increases. Following England, Austria, Scandinavian countries where similar ban has had an effect for several decades, tendency for this procedure has spread over Germany and Holland. And there are the reasons to believe that, for example, on the model of the country-“ancestral home” of Doberman, prohibition against ear cropping may by little and little get about all the countries-FCI members. It should be mentioned that according to statistics in most cases imposition of ban against this operation involves considerable rundown of population of Dobermans. Therefore, the problem of true lovers of this dog breed must consist in cultivation of beautiful, elegant, long docked ears of Doberman.
