I always did this the first day, but it is usually done from about the 3rd day to the 7th day. I have heard of it done up to 10 days, but I would never do it that late.
A Rotties tail is docked at 1 1/2 vertebra just in case you didn't know.
20 years of Showing, training and breeding some of the top Rotties ANYWHERE!
Apart from the vanity of the owner there is no reasonable non-medical excuse to dock any dog
Vanity has absolutely nothing to do with it. Many of us actually show our dogs. I'm not about to put anyone down for asking a question when it comes to a breed standard situation. Maybe they are only researching to get answers for breeding at a later time. It does take a lot of research and information before ever attemping to breed an animal. I'm not going to assume that there s a litter on the ground and someone is just now asking this question, which would mean they hadn't researched before hand.
Unless it is prohibited by law, most breeders of dogs go by the standards of their breed, to provide new owners with a dog that if it is show worthy or breeding worthy, has had at least tails docked and dewclaws removed. You can't tell until those pups are up and moving, if you have any show worthy. To dock a tail later is a surgical proceedure and harder on the dog. Also if it is the breed standard you will have a harder time placing a puppy that doesn't resemble the breed and those hard to place puppies often end up in a shelter or hopefully a rescue.
I know this sound like a rude answer, but I've tried to rewrite it different ways and it still sounds that way. LOL Sorry.
I would rather the breeder docks a tail than to have someone buy one of those pups and have some cruel person pay a friend $5 bucks to do it instead of waiting and going to a vet in a few months when it would cost them more since it is surgery. OK I think I'm done now.

It also has to be done at a very early age. In many countries it is now illegal, to dock a dogs tail.
