We were worried about her ears when we first got them done. But they turned out better than expected.
She isn't from straight working lines. She's from a show line that has working dogs in the pedigree. We weren't ready for a crazy driven working line dog. So we settled for some middle ground. She has enough drive to work, but is not so high strung and is calm enough to be a house pet.
Our next future dog will most likely be working line. Although there isn't very many choices here in the US in regards to traditional working bred dobermans. There are less than a handful of kennels around.

Here's Aria, our pup, at one of her first protection sessions.
Sorry for the crappy quality. My camera did not like night action shots.

I can definitely vouch for the craziness of a working bred dog!! I agree that they can be way too much for anyone who isn't looking for that level of drive specifically. Your girl sounds like she is working out great for what you were looking for, and seems to have both working ability and really great looks! I really like her!
I've noticed the same when it comes to working bred Dobermans - I remember looking around for breeders years ago and got a few recommendations for Landgraf, but that was it. I like the American show lines, too, and probably even prefer their overall structure, but it'd be nice to have more options!
And nice picture and grip!

Landgraf is fantastic. They are semi-local to me and their male, Eiko, came in first place at the IPO regionals here last Fall. He was the only doberman in the trial. I do believe their dogs compete overseas as well.
Not my photo, but this is Eiko vom Landgraf at regionals
Another really good doberman kennel is Kondorstrand in Central/Southern California. Some folks seem to think that their dogs are better than Landgraf.
