Tails are DOCKED at 1-3 days of age.
Vaccinations should NOT be given before a puppy has completed it's 7th week but preferably 8-9 weeks.
Do NOT vaccinate earlier then this..it can interfer with natural immunity, cause problems with the immune system,make the puppy more susceptible to the very illness they are suppose to be protecting from, it can cause problems with future vaccinations as well.

Tail should be done at 1 to 2 days old and shots at 6 weeks.

It's usually done not long after the dog is born. Some breeder put rubber bands on the tail and the tied off part dies and the tail is docked. 6-7 weeks of age for the first shot.

The pups tail should be docked at 3-4 days. If older, then you should not have it done. Shots should be started at 6-8 weeks. The breeder should have had these things done already.

it has to be done before the dog is 3 days old, otherwise it's considered major surgery and 99% of vets won't do it.... if a vet will do it, they are irresponsible and should not be practicing.
