You should not be considering cutting a puppy's or dog's tail at all, no matter their age, unless it is required and done by a vet.

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.

How old is a Doberman when they get there tails doced?

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.


How old to cut a Dobermans tail?

The doberman puppy is docked and cropped at about eight weeks. Docking and cropping are two things. One is putting up it's ears with tape so they will grow upwards, but doberman puppies actually do have floppy ears. The second is cutting it's tail to that traditional size of a bear's tail size. It can be painful, but usually they are put under anesthetic. So, probably the best age is at nine/ten/eleven/twelve weeks old, though I never do that to dobermans, because I like them how they are.
