  1. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hi all, I’ve read and watched the majority videos and posts on this forum relating to ear cropping. Thought I was prepared… I guess it’s different when it’s your own puppy. Anyway, everything that you guys have on here is so helpful and I appreciate it, but I was hoping for some more specific...
  2. Ear Cropping and Posting
    I recently bought a doberman and the previous owner told be that he was posting the ears since he was 4 months old, but turns out it was a lie, because when the dog got to me the owner asked me to open the tapes after one week, i did and the ears had some wounds and weren't standing at all. The...
  3. Doberman Puppy Corner
    Hi everyone! I’m looking for some guidance on posting ears on a puppy Who’s is a very big shaker. Now this isn’t my first rodeo, but I was very blessed and fortunate that my other two were not shakers and went very much with the flow but my little Nyx is a little tornado (and by little I mean...
  4. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hello! I have an almost 4 months old puppy. He is entering his ear-posting stage. The good news is it’s only his first week with the post and his ears are standing! The bad news he is forming some pockets making a triangle shape… As you can see in the pictures (2nd post change) This is only...
  5. Ear Cropping and Posting
    My puppy has had his stitches out for several weeks. The vet posted for the first time for us. After about 4 days I took them down, as they started to smell. I cleaned them up, but noticed at that time he still had scabs and the bald patch from when the vet took the tape off the first time was...
  6. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Today we posted for the first time ever. The bottoms of the posts popped out almost immediately. It’s not even his scratching, so I’m wondering if the post is either too small or too big for his ear. I (unsuccessfully) have tried posting his ears before with a bigger post, and it didn’t work...
  7. Ear Cropping and Posting
    First time Doberman owner, and this issue has just arisen. it’s got me completely flustered and upset that I did this to the little man. I’m even more upset that I lost my sense of smell about two or so weeks ago and I feel like I would’ve noticed sooner if that hadn’t happened. Enzo is a...

    Puppy folds its ears voluntarily backwards and sidways voluntarily on some occasions only . Otherwise the ear stands upright is it comman to fold the ears and also there is crease on left ear where he folds his ears . I've been posting him since the past 9 weeks,he is 5½ months old
  9. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hello! I've been reading here a lot about how to post since I recently got my first Doberman and had to learn posting ears. Currently, we noticed that one ear has very huge ear pockets, and I assume that due to that, her ear flops over her head (inwards completely). In addition, previously, I...
  10. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hey everyone! Apollo is 8-9 months old, he was given to us. His tail was cut but the previous owner did not want to crop his ears. I was wondering if it’s still possible to make his ears stand nice n pointy or if we shouldn’t even bother?

  12. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hello. My doberman puppy was born November 2021 and came home at 8 weeks with stitches still in his ears from cropping. We started posting around 9-9.5 weeks old using the backer rod method on this site. I have had the posts off for 1 week and have had breathe right strips on the tip. The last...

    Hi everybody - i think this is is a shot in the dark, but any advice is appreciated. I currently have a 10 month old Doberman. His ears were cropped at about 12 weeks, but the posting wasn’t consistent. Is it too late for him to have erect ears? I have heard that it’s too late. I have also heard...
  14. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hello! My doberman's left ear is taking the longest to stand straight up. After taking the post out, it would kind of stand up straight but when he's relaxed it would fall back down mid-way. I've been posting them frequently, having it rest for a day then back to posting. I'm using backer rod...
  15. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hello! I am about 24 days (not that I'm counting or anything) away from my pup finally coming to me. She will be already cropped but I'll be honest, I'm a little nervous about posting. I have read the posting tutorials but, call me paranoid, I'd feel better if I could talk or actually meet...
  16. Ear Cropping and Posting
    I’ve been posting my puppy’s ears. The surgeon said keep doing it until about six months of age when her teeth come in. That’s fine. I change them every five days or when they get wet. Backer rod didn’t work so I’m using tampons. I notice when I take them off, they fold down some, but if I say...
  17. Ear Cropping and Posting
    Hi All, Had my pup just about a month now and I have basically had to repost his ears (using backer rod method) every day. On two occasions they lasted two nights but that has been the max. I’ve taken all the tips that I’ve seen on here, pencil-like ends, screw all the way in, pull the ear taut...

    Hey everyone ! This is my first time posting my 3 month old dobbie's ears, I was wondering if this looks okay. I'm paranoid about not doing it properly, any advice is appreciated. I started 3 days ago with paper tape along with medical tape, now I'm using this "Self Stick Adhesive Tape Roll...
  19. Ear Cropping and Posting
    We've been posting for 5 months now and his left ear doesn't want to stand longer than 5 minutes and begins to look soft at that crease. I always have posted immediately after taking them down. His ear leather is also pretty thick. Does his ear shape look alright? his ears are relaxed. They...

    Hi everyone, I’m a new member and as of a couple weeks ago a new owner of a Doberman puppy! I’ve been dealing with the normal issues of raising a puppy but the one thing that really has been the most pain is posting his ears and I’m afraid they won’t stand at. I got him shipped in from out of...
