Do Pinscher Puppies have a tail?

Yes, they are born with a tail. Some owners choose to have it docked at a certain age. What may come as a surprise to people who are used to seeing Dobermann tails that are just a couple of inches long, is that the Dobermann pup is actually born with a tail that is longer than that of most breeds of dog. Typically, a Doberman Pinscher puppy undergoes docking, a procedure in which the majority of its tail is cut off within days after its birth. The rationale for this is that it is the "look" that the dog is supposed to have, since it was the way Louis Dobermann originally envisioned the dog. Hope this helps! :) xxx

That depends on how the mother's tail got bent. If it got bent in an accident, then most likely they won't, but if the mother's tail was bent when she was born, then it is possible that at least some of the puppies will also have a bent tail.


Why don't Doberman Pinscher's tails grow?

A doberman's natural tail is actually long. Many owners and breeders decide to have their tails docked (shortened) while they are puppies to give them the traditional doberman appearance. Also, if the dog is to be trained as a guard dog having the tail docked serves a purpose. During a physical engagement (fight) the dog's tail is more difficult to grab thus making it hard to defend against the dog.
