A vet will ''amputate'' the tail, before the puppies are 5 days old. (After that age, it's considered a surgery).

It is a cosmetic procedure that must be done by a vet. . .The tail is pretty much chopped off. I would not recomend it unless you are showing the dog and it is a breed standard.

some breeders put rubber bands on the pups tail when they are born.after a while due to no blood flow to the tail it falls off.this is what a breeder told me she did,to her puppies.

Sorry, but purebred Boston Terriers do not have their tails docked. They are born tail-less…If you get one that has a tail, they are not pure. I raised Bostons for 8 years.

Boston terriers tails are not normaly docked. It will disqualify the dog in the show ring if it is docked

Bostons do not have their tails docked, they are born with short corkscrew tails.

I have a pure bred boston.
after about 2 or 3 days they get chopped off. they do it by grabbing a rope and tie it up around it. its not painful. it just falls off by itself.
