The breeders of this bitch do not want the photo shown(so the bitch shall remain a nameless dobie) as they think it is a very unattractive photo of her head, along with the loss of coat.

I am a whippet person and know what whippet fanciers are looking for. I personally like the expression on this dobe, but, I am not a dobe breeder and I am not looking at it through their eyes

Peggysue, I don't think the ears look exceptionally tall, they look like a show crop to me. I am not a huge fan of non cropped ears on dobes and danes, but, that is purely asthetical. I know of dane breeders who only crop their show home puppies. The pet home ones are not cropped.

I think dobes look like black and tan coonhounds without cropped ears.
