The Dobermann's cropped ears and docked tail stems from the breed development as a purpose-bred working dog.

They were bred to be a robust guard dog, and general consensus is that the cropped ears and docked tails helped create less "handholds" on the dog that an attacker could use to help ward off the dog.
