your vet will know what to do. with little ones maybe a good idea to have it off when you get him fixed. or are not not getting him fixed?
he looks about 9 weeks old.

Yeah were going to get Him Neutered, I think It would probley be good all the way around to get it done.. Poor guy will have to lose his balls

Your boy is adorable!! Congratulation s on the new baby!
I do have to chime in about the docking issue-
While docking during a neuter makes sense in terms of number of surgeries, docking after 7 days of age ( the usual timeframe is 2-3 days) is very strongly discouraged by all responsible veterinarians, breeders and breed-knowledgable people. At 12-14 weeks you are now talking about MAJOR surgery on the SPINAL COLUMN that is now completely formed and functional. Docking at this age or older should ONLY be undertaken if there is an emergency requirement such as a serious traumatic injury to the tail. The benefits are only cosmetic and the price in terms of the puppy's pain, potential nervous system complications are not worth it!

That is exactly why we are kinda debating it sence he isnt a baby any more and the pain.. I seriously dont mind the tail growing up all are dogs had there tails intact. I will say get smaked in the rear by are great dane I had growiing up was a great spanking lmao

Thank you.. I think there both adorable aswell lol I have a daughter too lol

Congrats on your new pup and welcome to the board. I have to agree with Julie, I have a big soft spot for Rotties. I love his tail and he is gorgeous. I know that when I get around to getting my next Rottie boy I will look for a breeder that will leave the tail on. I just love that look.

I can see why! ;D They are adorable. What does your daughter think of Zeus?
Modified to add: I agree with Kat. I would love to have a tail-ed Rotti. They are so cute either way, but now that I've seen that cute little curl that Zeus has.... ;D ;)
-
What a cutie pie!

LOL my daughter has a mind of her own she likes him only from a distance lol Or if he is sleppin by her lol She hates getting the kisses that he is allways trying to give her lol.
I think we are going to keep the tail I almost feel he will look funny now sence we are so use to him with it
-
I had to look at these again! i miss the little Rottie puppy phases. :) i love their fuzzy puppy fur and those big ole paws and little everything elses.
this last pic is great. aren't they the bigges acrobats ever? Grace still likes to leap and bounce and twist and turn.
-
Awww he's cute! so is your son!
I'd leave it, like Jenn said at that age it's pretty much amputation.
Besides you want to be a trendsetter right? lol In the Netherlands it's illegal to dock tails or crop ears so all the dobies and rotties in the Netherlands have tails and floppy ears!
Here's a pic of Evgeni, one of the members of the ferret board i'm ons dobermann. (she posted her tributes to her dobie Jared on here a few weeks ago)

-
i think they are adorable with their tail :) rotts are gorgeous either way ,but a tail is sooooo cute on them ;D
-
hehe they are arn't they.. I havent seen any rottis around her with tails so I guess ill be a trend setter lol
-
haha no it won't hurt to much...
I grew up with a great dane, Sheba, and I learned fast how to stay out of the way and to not leave any food or drink un-attended (or anything else that I didn't want knocked over!) and later on we had a mastiff/retreiver mix that not only had a long tail but a thick tail too!
