Best Answer

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.

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.
