New jack russel pups?

my jack russel gave birth to 5 pups the other night. both mother and father are working dogs and great hunters, so there is a very high chance the pups will inherit this trait. both mother and father had their tails docked when i purchased them. but i don't know weather to dock the pups tails?? i went to the vet to buy iodine for their navels and innocently asked about docking and was told that it is illegal!!! now i don't know what to do! if they do inherit the hunting trait and their tails are not docked they could get seriously hurt!! any advise?
