Yes. We have two poodles and one's tail is a good bit longer than the other but they were both docked.

Yes, they doc them for show, Poodles have a very thin tail and the this was originally done to keep them from injuring the tail in the field (Miniature and Standard). This was carried down to the toy version to keep them consistant with the larger versions of the breed.

BTW, if you're not going to show, there is really no reason for it now.
