Right hand post will go in the right ear. The two are mirror images of one another. Tape the gauze pad around the zip-tie, to protect the dog’s ears. Photo by: Samary Birkline © 2020.įold a 2×2 gauze pad in half around the end of a post, then roll the fabric into a padding surrounding the plastic zip-tie. Completed posts, ready to attach to posting tape. Use tin snips to cut two segments of thick zip-tie half an in longer than the entire ear (measured from the bottom of the dog’s jaw to the tip of the ear). The longest strips can be cut longer than needed to be certain they reach all the way around the bell of the ear. For Dobermans, this tends to be 5″, 4″, and 3″ sets (one set for each ear). Six more segments of tape should be cut, approximately one inch shorter than the former set. In addition to the segments the posting will be glued to, there are between four and six segments cut to wrap around the ear. Measure out two segments of tape approximately 175% of the length of the dog’s upper ear (measured from top of skull to tip of ear), usually about 5″ to 6″ for Dobermans, depending on age. This method can be used regardless of the length of the puppy’s ears, and can replace any standard method used by a veterinarian.

The Kennel Birkline utilizes a method with relatively little taping, a stiff, yet small posting material, and a harmless skin glue. There are multiple methods, each with its own pros and cons. Some puppies come with their ears already cropped. But chances are if you have a new Doberman puppy in the United States and some other countries, you’re posting his or her ears for several weeks on your own. Practices vary wildly from breeder to breeder.
Yet another grouping does not perform the crop at all. Other breeders keep the pups until the ears are completely standing. Many breeders ensure the crop is complete and the stitches are removed on a litter of pups before the pups are allowed to go home. It’s important to note that some Dobermans come with the ears already cropped. From high energy level to the amount of time it takes to crop ears, Dobermans take commitment. Veteran Doberman owners will attest to the need for owner/trainer perseverance during the youth of a Doberman pup, from the breed’s famous high energy level to the length of time ear posting must continue for the desired result. Its characteristic erect ears draw a sharp image in the mind: a mild bell sloping gracefully up to a point, then dropping straight to the skull the vision of laser-focus and concentration. For decades the Doberman’s sleek, muscular body has captivated audiences and owners alike.
