Do you remove dewclaws and dock the puppies tails?

Yes, we do. There is no medical reason to do this, but it is required for showing Standard Poodles as it is in other breeds. Tails are docked per AKC standard. The tip of the tail should be even with the top of the head when the Standard Poodle is standing at attention or in a show stance.
