The Dobermann shouldn't be docked, I thought you had to ask each puppy buyer what the dog was going to be used for, and IF it was going to be worked (and proven, although what work DO Dobies do?) THEN you could dock that puppies tail. I'm starting to think though maybe it works like if you prove the mother/father was a working dog, then you could dock all the pups tails?

I'm curious now! And btw, Dobies are GORGEOUS with tails. I love them au natural
I don't think Dobes can be legally docked, as they are not a working breed that requires docking int his country.

As far as I know, to get Spirngers/cockers etc docked, you need ot show your shotgun licence. (have I spelt that right?! D)
