Hi everyone, I am a new doberman owner and I have a 6-month-old female doberman. However, she doesn't seem like a typical doberman to me. She has floppy ears and is relatively smaller in size compared to other dobermans I have seen. I am not sure if this is normal or if there is an issue with her breed. I love her regardless, but I just want to know if anyone else has experienced something similar or if there is something I could do to help her look more like a doberman. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi there! Don't worry, your doberman is most likely perfectly normal. When my doberman was a puppy around that age, she also had floppy ears and was smaller than what I had imagined a doberman to be. However, as she grew older, her ears eventually stood up and she filled out to be the perfect size and shape for a doberman.
It's important to remember that not all dobermans will fit the exact same mold. There can be variations in height, weight, and even ear shape. It's also worth noting that some dobermans have their ears cropped, which can give them a more distinct doberman appearance, but it's a personal choice and not necessary.
Overall, I wouldn't worry too much about your doberman's appearance. Focus on giving her the love and care she needs, and she will grow up to be a beautiful and loyal companion.
