The AKC’s breed standards for the Doberman include pinned ears. On AKC website I found “we recognize ear cropping and tail docking, as prescribed in certain breed standards, are acceptable practices integral to defining and preserving breed character……..”etc. Mutilating a dogs ears (and or tail) is illegal in other parts of the world but in America it’s not only okay, it’s widely practised and displayed. People who condone, practice and display this make me sick, I hope none of you people have one of these special breeds or any other animals if you’re willing to place your selfish vanity for appearance above not subjecting animals to cruelty! Disgrace to mankind. You should be utterly ashamed.
