The doberman puppy is docked and cropped at about eight weeks. Docking and cropping are two things. One is putting up it's ears with tape so they will grow upwards, but doberman puppies actually do have floppy ears. The second is cutting it's tail to that traditional size of a bear's tail size. It can be painful, but usually they are put under anesthetic. So, probably the best age is at nine/ten/eleven/twelve weeks old, though I never do that to dobermans, because I like them how they are.
this is actually a very bad idea it can cause severe pain to the dog and the tail might not heal, you should only cut the dogs tail if it is longer than 1 foot

Why cut Dobermans tail?
As for the ear cutting, there is a number of reason. Originally, the breed was created to protect its master. Meaning to fight effectively. After many accidents where the tail was broken, it became standard to cut the tail soon after birth; when IT DOESN'T HURT AT ALL. The cartilage is still very smooth at that time. You can compare this to a circumcision for a young baby boy. Second, it is quite obvious that the tail is somewhat very ugly and doesn't fit the rest of the doberman's body. So it became a question of taste. But everyone agrees on that one. Finally most owner cut it because it is part of the breed's standard.

How do you make a coyote tail into keychain?
well first you want to cut a circle around the base of the tail. then you want to cut where you can get a grip on the base of the tail by doing that cut bak on the tail. After that you pull the tail leaving the flesh behind. After you get that turn the tail as the way you would see as it is on the coyote then fill up with salt and leave to dry.
