Doberman Pinschers ears are naturally supposed to stay down, but to get the ears to point up you would have to crop the ears. They would have to have a surgery for the cropped ears. Ear cropping should be done by seven or eight weeks of age. The ears will have to be taped which takes four or five months till the dog can have its ears stand up without the assistance of the tape.
all of them except doberman pinscher The boxer and great danes ears also have to be cropped and taped for them to stand up. The only breed listed with naturally erect ears is the Siberian husky
Yes, that is how they are naturally. The ears are made erect and pointy by surgically cutting them and taping them in place until the cartilage holds them in place. Many owners are leaving them floppy these days.
I have a 7th month old red male - natural ears - he is 72 lbs right now.
The doberman breed is succeptable to a neurological disease commonly reffered to as Wobblers. I know this because a dog we care for has noticable shaking and trembling in her neck and ears while fully conscious. It is just a flaw of the breed and I do not think that it is chronic or degenerative.
Yes
Yes, it is true you can clip a doberman's ears in Malta.
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.
You can dock the tail and crop the ears of a doberman anywhere in the world. The only thing that you might want to do is to make certain that there are no local ordinances against it.
In my opinion the Doberman..

They do it when they feel threatened, or when they're about to snap at you.

In the first place, humans created the Doberman (or any other dog breed). Secondly, a Doberman depends on his human owner, he can't survive in the wild. Lastly, humans tend to crop the ears and dock the tails of the Doberman to match the breed standard.
If a dobermans ears are pointy it means the dog has has surgery (cropping) done for their ears to stand and be pointy. A doberman is born with floppy ears and a long tail, but often get surgery to stand the ears and make the tail short.
