For some breeds yes. For example, an Australian Cattle Dog is usually seen with a long tail, but there is the Australian Stumpy tail Cattle Dog, which (in my opinion) seems pretty if not exactly similar. Other dog breeds have docked tails. Some breeders/breeds have been bred to have shorter tails.

Looks a little like a border collie. Looks a lot like my son's
dog, a Stumpy Tailed Australian Cattle Dog.
