You don't need to. It is only necessary if the dog is a proper working dog and there's a chance the tail will get damaged or hurt during their work. In fact it is illegal in a lot of places to dock a tail for any other reasons.
I have a English bulldog myself, and they have it because every dog needs a tail, that is just a part of the way they are. My dog does in fact have a curly tail, but when i see some other English bulldogs, sometimes they are not curly they are just stumps.
Your dog has cancer, I'm sorry.
Usely the tail are dock some owners keep the tail and yes sometimes they do curl.

The typical age for a Dog to have it's tail docked is under ten days old. A veterinarian will advise on the best time to dock an individual puppies tail as it may not be strong enough to go through the operation or may be healthy enough to have it's tail docked earlier. This operation is now illegal in the UK unless performed on working puppies.
Yes, 3 weeks is too old to dock a puppy's tail. Normally this procedure is done between the ages of 2-5 days old. You can have it done at 3 weeks but now it will be a major surgery where the puppy will have to be sedated and the tail docked and sutures put in. It will cost a lot more too.
This should be performed by a vet before the puppies are three days old. The tail is either cut quickly and sharply with curved surgical scissors or a tight rubber band is wrapped around the tail to make it fall off after a few days.
Boxers should have their dock (cut) when they are a few days old. Some people considered docking to be cruel and it is illegal in some countries. Actually, it is unneccissary to dock a boxer's tail unless if it is going to enter in a dog show.
A 13 year old dog is actually 91 in dog years. You take our year/age of dog's life and multiply each year by 7. A 16 year old dog is actually 112. Again, do same as above.
can a 15 year old male dog make puppies with my 2 year old dog
35 dog years old- if a dog is 1 human year old, the dog is 7 years old in dog years. 7 times 5=35 years old.
