Dogs need their tails for balance. I agree that some dogs do look better with cropped tails, BUT it is not necessary to dock any dog's tail.
It is against the law to dock a dog's tail in Australia and the UK. If you do dock a dog's tail in Aussie or UK you can face fines up to $37,500. However in the UK dogs that are classed as "working dogs" at the moment can have their tails docked by a vet - however you must prove the puppy is a working dog.
Ten dollars
In the U.K. that practice has now been outlawed as a cruelty.
go to the vets and i think that illegle now Only Veterinarians should do it. It is not necessary to dock a Dobermann's tail. As you do not say where you live it is now illegal in many countries to do so including Wales, Scotland and England. Large fines could be involved and possible confiscation of dogs.
You do not have to dock any dogs tail. But some show dogs tails may need to be docked.
No. If you do that your mean!
What does that mean. If you mean the dock, the part of its body, that kind of dock, well I have a Shetland Sheepdog, and his dock is right before the tail. {on horses too.}

Malta is a country that is located in southern Europe. It has not signed the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals treaty however which makes it illegal to dock a dogs tail. It is therefore legal to dock a rotty tail there.
the dock is the tail... the hair is the tail the soild bit its attched to (which is quite short) is the dock.
Absolutely not ! NO breed of dog should be mutilated for the sake of 'vanity' ! Thankfully - it's now ILLEGAL in the UK to dock a dogs tail unless it's for medical reasons !
