My honey's tail isnt cropped BUT being in germany its against the law for them to crop ears and dock tails. That being said, honey's father had a docked tail... Dunno where they bought him from but i do know some places in germany DO dock/crop but its very hard to find.
I like honey's tail and i know t he standard calls for it to be docked. It's just a standard. If ur not goin to show the dog who cares :P
NOW... If i had a doberman.... I'd have his ears cropped and tail docked. Cruel or not dobermans just look like mutts if at least their ears arent traingular. I like a tail wagging so i'd probably not cut his tail but definatly the ears.
It's all about your personal preferance i think. If u think a cute stubbly wagging tail is cute then by all means, i think its HILARIOUS! i just dont wanna pay to have her tail cut haha
