I can't tell you for sure, but Google seems to indicate that yes, they can be shown:

Ear taping cropping methods in pictures, docked tails
Equinox Perm ® Kennels - Doberman and Miniature Pinscher Breeding Kennel in B.C. Canada

Some German sites seem to indicate that some people take their dogs to France for cropping and docking (which is illegal in Germany), so that would be another indicator that it would be possible.

(P.S. And I apologize if these are not "reputable" sites - I have no idea about that, just trying to help with information. (If you find a French site, I'll be happy to help translate.))

 

I believe the docking/cropping ban came into effect last year so my understanding is that for 5 years dogs there will be grandfathered if they are d/c and allowed to show.

anyone know how I would find out for sure ??

 

I would think you could just ask?

Site Officiel du DOBERMANN CLUB DE FRANCE

Can't find that information on the site at first glance ...

(Note: If you don't speak enough French, you can write them in English. English is mandatory in European schools, so you should get a reply. If you get a French reply, let me know and I'll help translate.)

FOUND IT:
(http://www.dobermann-club-france.asso.fr/PDF/Dossier de presse 2008.pdf)

"Tous les chiens nés en France ou à l'étranger après le 30 Avril 2004 et ayant les oreilles coupées sont interdits en concours et en exposition en France, ils ne peuvent ni être confirmés, ni inscrits au LOF à titre initial, au titre de la descendance, de l'importation ou inscrits sur un livre d'attente" (Translation: "Any dogs born in France or abroad after April 30, 2004 with cropped ears may not compete or be shown in France ... "

It also says docking is still legal (French asked for an exception)

It continues:

Chiens à oreilles coupées nés après le 30 avril 2004 : (dogs with cropped ears born after April 30, 2004)
Confirmation (Conformation)
Dossier médical du vétérinaire avec preuve de la lésion et nature de traitement (Vet records with proof of cropping and nature of treatment)
Examen Possible (permitted)
Aucun dossier (no vet records)
Examen non Possible (not permitted)
Concours (competition)
avec ou sans dossier vétérinaire (with or without vet records)
Examen non possible (not permitted)

Thank you so much ! I think I will send them an email. I may be looking for you later to translate :0)

 

Feel free to. That's what I do ... although I no longer translate from French a whole lot. Happy to help out with things I find interesting
