Hello! So this is my first doberman and I have a lot of questions about his ears. Basically, I just want to know if we are posting his ears right, because I feel like they look bat-ish and they seem to have a wider base than some of the other puppy crops I see. Here's a quick backstory about his crop:
They were cropped four weeks ago by a vet our breeder recommended when he was 9 1/2 weeks old. The vet owned two dobermans and we chose the length of the crop (a little past where his ears meet the inner part of his eye, so a medium/long crop). After surgery, we came to pick him up his ears were sutured together and he had a cone on. The suture between the ears came out a week later. A week after that (so two weeks post surgery), his scabs finally healed and we started posting them using tampons and athletic tape. We did a bridge both times, because his ears were not pointing up at all.
Do his ears look alright? Is the bridge necessary? I just don't want to mess this up and we have had zero help from the vet or breeder.
Here are some pictures from today with his posts off:
