It is not necessary for any dog's tail to be docked, even if the breed standards indicate otherwise. I live in the UK and here it is illegal to unless your vet docks the dogs tail for health reasons. I don't know about other countries.

Usually the breeders dock their tails when they are 3 days old as they have no nerve feelings yet. But if you have a dobie that still has a tail and ears it will cost you 500 hundred for the ears to get done and while the dog is under it should only cost you 15-30 dollars for the tail to be done.
How long do you have til its to late to clip my min pins tale?
I own and used to breed min pins so know the answer to this very well. Tails and dewclaws should be done no later than 3 days old. If it hasn't been done and your dog is older, check with your vet. It may be too late. You also need to ask yourself why you want the tail docked and if it is that important to you, why did you get a dog that's tail is not docked? Ideally it should be done at 3 mos. However I have personally had a Min Pins ears cropped as late as 1.5 years of age and they stood fine. I owned a Min Pin in the 1960s and his tail at 6 weeks was already cropped. I didn't have his ears done simply because I don't believe in this cruel fashion and no one can say it isn't cruel. It's all in the name of the breeder and showing off the dog. How would you like your tail bone cropped and your ears cropped, stitched and dipped in brandy?
Doberman dog has tail?
All Dobermann Pinschers are born with long, natural tails. In some countries, docking is performed to surgically shorten the tail to make the dog meet the breed standard and be aesthetically pleasing for shows. This operation is performed by a vet when the puppy is under three days old, when the tail is cut off with curved, surgical scissors. This is a cosmetic amputation, like dew claw removal or ear cropping, and serves no practical purpose. This operation is only legal in some parts of America and Canada.
