kendalyn Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Is it required that their ears be cropped in order to be shown? If not, do many people leave them uncropped? How does it effect their success in the show ring? I'm not trying to start a cropping debate or anything, I'm really curious. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAmericanPUP Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 its not required for them to be cropped, but i'd say probably 95% of show people crop dobes and boxers and such....judges definately favor a cropped dog..unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefeathers! Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Oh, I love him! I swear I fall more in love with Dobes every day and know in the bottom of my heart I'll always have one (along with my Standard Poodles, of course). That's it; I'm going to go hug Peaches right now. Sizzle, I LOVE your dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SizzleDog Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 kendalyn - very few conformation Dobermans are uncropped here in the States. The few that are are either imported or couldn't be cropped for some reason or another. I'm shocked and amazed that Trice's sire is almost finished here in the US, especially since he's an uncropped dog. However, I think judges are more lenient about uncropped ears if they know the dog is an import... they aren't supposed to know, but the truth is that most judges know who the dogs are! ;) To give you an idea of how difficult it is to show an uncropped Dobe to a championship... I can count on one hand the number of uncropped champion Dobes. A sibling to one of the highest winning dogs int he country right now is still struggling in the classes with her uncropped ears (couldn't be cropped due to an ear injury), while her brother is going on to win BIS and BISS left and right. Basically, it's not cost effective to show an uncropped dog unless the dog is a stunning example of the breed. Danes and Boxers have a mch better shot at it, but Dobermans are still "old school" - we like our ears cropped, and it'll be awhile before the fancy relaxes its opinions on the matter. Here are new photos, by the way... ;) [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May026.jpg[/img] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May033.jpg[/img] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May036.jpg[/img] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May041.jpg[/img] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May043.jpg[/img] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May044.jpg[/img] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/ForLeah/02May047.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowie-the-Pooh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hate to repost but just thought I'd ask.. is Drake still with you? If so, we'd love pictures of all three of the Dobes together (to see the color contrast, ya know :wink:)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
