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.
Yes, it is true you can clip a doberman's ears in Malta.

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.
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.
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.

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
The procedure is usually done with Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, Boston Terriers, or Great Danes. Generally, ear cropping is performed when dogs are between 9 and 12 weeks old. After this, the chances of success drop, as Fido’s ears may already be drooping.
In my opinion the Doberman..
They do it when they feel threatened, or when they're about to snap at you.
