Yes, Boxers are born with long tails. Breeders choose to have the dogs tails docked in order to comply with breed standards. They also usually have their ears pricked, except in places like England where they allow the dogs ears to be natural.

Boxers are born with long tails. Most people that breed them get their tails clipped, which is why you dont often see Boxers with long tails. There are quite a few breeds that are born with long tails that get cut when they are born.

Boxers are born with tails. In the United States, boxers' tails are docked, or cut shorter, by veterinarians. This occurs when the puppies are no older than 3 days old.

Historically it's because they were cut off (docked) when the dogs were young. Recently this practice has fallen out of favor, and breeders have developed naturally short-tailed Boxers by selective breeding.


What kind of dogs need their tail cut off?

No dogs need their entire tails removed, except in the case of serious injury. Some Australian shepherds are born with very short tails, but no dogs are born without tails. It used to be fashionable for certain dogs, such as Doberman pinchers, Brittanies, boxers, Pembroke corgis and others, to have their tails docked, or drastically shortened. Today, the AKC frowns on this practice and encourages dog owners and breeders not to dock their animals' tails, as the procedure causes unnecessary pain and fear for the pooch. Some hunting and sporting dogs, such as pointers, Weimaraners and spaniels, may need to have their tails docked for their own good if they are being used for hunting in wooded areas. These animals are prone to having their thin, whip-like tails broken as they run and weave through brushy and forested areas.
