However, it's important to note:
* Docking is a controversial practice. Some consider it a cruel and unnecessary cosmetic procedure, while others believe it serves practical purposes, like preventing injuries in working dogs.
* Many countries have banned tail docking. This means that Dobermans in these countries are born with their natural tails.
* A natural Doberman tail is long and slender, tapering to a point.
So, depending on where the Doberman was born and the breeder's practices, you may see them with either a docked tail or a natural tail.
