I've got to ask though what's the deal with the field goal on his ears?

He's a she   And the field goal is part of the posting to process to get the ears to stand up.  She should be out of those in three or four weeks.  I was wanting one that was finished with this process but I couldn't resist her face.

Gotcha

[flintlock]

She's already a looker!

congrats, whats on his ears?

It's a styrofoam rod with no stick tape wrapped with athletic tape.  It's a process they have to go through to get the ears to stand up.  You change them every couple of days.  She should be finished in two or three more weeks.  When she's finished her ears should look like her Mom and Dads.   Mom is first picture and Dad is second.

Those Dogs are magnificient. If I make a final decision on getting one, I'll definitely have to chat with you before hand. I've seen quite a few that definitely haven't had the breeding yours have.
How do your dogs interact with other dogs when going for a leashed walk? I've noticed most people kind of seem a bit nervous walking their dogs close to a Dobie

[guesswho]

Mine love other dogs.  And your right, people tend to give you a little extra room.  If you decide to get one let me know.  There's a lot of Dobes out there, you want one thats been bred for temperment, health, build and color.

People ask me if mine will bite.  I tell them only if they need too!

Great looking dog!

Keeps them from looking like a hound dog.

that's the only purpose

As far as I know thats the only reason.  Most breeders have them done before selling them.  Hers were already done, we just have to finish the tapeings.  It takes her from looking like picture one, to picture two.  Most folks prefer the looks of them done over not having them done.  But it's personal choice.   There are long eared Dobe's, they just look more like a hound dog.

Those are some cute dogs

[guesswho]

Both of those pictures are of her.   I'm thinking she would be easier to hold on to if they hadn't done her ears.  She only has two speeds, wide open or shut down, wide open most of the time.  She is a mess.   Here she is in shut down mode with her buddy Badacious.
