I don't know if it is officially illegal, but why would you do it? When cropping a dogs' ears, they're taking to the vet and put under anesthetic, so they don't feel pain.
Some people chop their dogs ears off or cut them off with scissors are being very stupid; the dogs are in pain for days and the ears don't heal properly.
Please, If you get your dog's ears cropped--go to a vet.
Besides, if someone finds out you cut your dog's ears off you can get in deep trouble; it is considered animal cruelty.
It is illegal to crop a doberman's ears in Malta because it is considered inhumane to the animal. Veterinarians take an oath similar to the Hippocratic oath in which they say they will "do no harm". Because cropping a doberman's ears is both painful and unnecessary it is considered inhuman and is therefore illegal.
It depends on weather you are doing a military crop, a medium crop or a show crop. The vet will tell you what to do when you pick the dog up from them. you should never crop a dog's ears yourself.
It is more than likely cruelty unless you have it done by a licensed vet.
Ear cropping is illegal in all of Australia, but it is still legal in most of America and Canada.
Cropping is illegal in the UK and should be in the US, it's cruel and pointless. Crop and tape your own ears. http://www.petforums.co.uk/dog-health-nutrition/6565-ear-cropping.html

Yes. Malta is in Europe so it is not legal to Crop Dobermans Ears In Malta.
No, cropping a German Shepherd's ears is not required for health or any other reason. It is a personal choice and not necessary for the well-being of the dog.
