how long do you leave a doberman tail
A Shorkie adults tail only gets cut when it is frightened. A puppy does not.
for looks
At a similar age to when you had your coccyx severed.
When they aren't looking
You really shouldn't "dock" or cut a dog's tail off. But as far as natural length goes, it depends on the breeds.
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.
No it will not grow back. Dogs do not have the ability to regrow limbs.
I cut my doberman's tail when she was a few weeks old, but you should do it between 4 and 7 days for the least trauma and no anesthetic to be necessary. My rotweiller got his cut then, and it was quite easy. Treatment time was short, and he was happy as ever.
No, are you nuts?! you should never cut a dogs tail off, it is very panefull and all dogs need tails.
As for the ear cutting, there is a number of reason. Originally, the breed was created to protect its master. Meaning to fight effectively. After many accidents where the tail was broken, it became standard to cut the tail soon after birth; when IT DOESN'T HURT AT ALL. The cartilage is still very smooth at that time. You can compare this to a circumcision for a young baby boy. Second, it is quite obvious that the tail is somewhat very ugly and doesn't fit the rest of the doberman's body. So it became a question of taste. But everyone agrees on that one. Finally most owner cut it because it is part of the breed's standard.
