In addition to the ear problems of Doberman Pinscher, the care of Doberman Pinscher is very simple. Doberman Pinscher requires ear cropping. The quality of the ears determines the appearance and temperament of the Doberman Pinscher. If it happens to be a competition-level dog, then its ears determine whether it can create brilliant results on the field and complete the championship.
The best time for Doberman Pinscher to undergo ear erection surgery is two months. At that time, puppies weighing more than 6 kg. If you are too old or too young, surgery is risky. In addition, for dogs that are too weak, surgery may also be fatal to them, and they may not even be able to pass the anesthesia test.
First of all, you need to find someone who is very good at cropping the ears of Doberman Pinscher. He can be a Doberman Pinscher breeder or a veterinarian. Then hand the dog over to him. Regarding the ear erection surgery, the most important part is the banding and erection stage after the operation. If this process is not handled well, then all this will be in vain.

Ear hair trimming
Doberman Pinscher grooming should start from an early age. Puppies in the lactation period should have their toenails trimmed to prevent the baby from scratching the mother. Use an electric clipper to trim the hair outside the ear against the grain of the hair, remove excess hair from the inner ear and the base of the ear along the direction from the tip of the ear to the base of the ear, and trim the hair at the boundary of the ear base. Do not use your mouth to blow out the broken hair in your ears, but use your fingers to remove it.
Trim the chin
Use fine scissors to trim the twisted hair at the throat. Do not use regular scissors and electric clippers. Generally, scissors will cut off too much hair and cause holes in the fur. Use fine-bristle shears to trim hair on the chest and shoulders against the direction of hair growth. Any clumps of hair will destroy the symmetry of the entire body contour. Similar hair on other parts of the body should also be trimmed as needed to minimize the presence of messy clumps of hair.
Trim your beard
Use curved scissors to trim your eyebrows and beard. Since these scissors have no sharp edges, they will not damage the hair that should not be cut. In fact, the most annoying thing is its beard, which grows back very quickly as if it has been completely shaved. The growth cycle is only one week at most. Therefore, in order to prevent repeated trimming, it is best to completely shave the beard on the upper and lower lips.
Trim the waistline
Be careful when handling the hair on the waist, so that the blade of the scissors is in line with the ridge of the back, and the scissors are cut obliquely toward the stomach (not outward). Remove excess hair from the abdomen, but do not touch the nipples.
Trimming the limbs
To make the feet appear more compact , remove excess hair between toes, remember not to dig with scissors. After trimming the pads of the forefoot and the inner hair between the ball knot and the toes, the upper pads should not be trimmed. At this time, the rotary scissors trim the outer part between the ball knot and the toes in a diagonal line to make the entire foot smooth and tidy.
The next step is to deal with the Doberman Pinscher's legs, smooth the hair with your hands, and remove the messy long hair. When most of the trimming is done, your focus should turn to the ears. Turn the head sideways, remove loose hair from the ears, and clean the ears with alcohol.
Groomer's Tips
Remember: curved scissors are used for eyebrows and beards; clippers are used for hair between the fetlock and toes, waist and buttocks; fine-hair scissors are used for other parts. Only after you become a beauty expert can you use electric clippers to trim all parts except beards. If you want your dog to participate in a beauty pageant, be sure to practice grooming it first.
When your dog is about to participate in the show, do a final check on it, cut off some loose hair, rub the body along the direction of the hair texture, and then dry it with a towel; applying some lanolin to the eyebrows will make them black , but be sure to remove excess lanolin. Patience is important when grooming, and Dobermans love to be groomed with towels and brushes.
