No, but there are tailless cats and their supposed to be like that.
Answer:
Yes there are tailless mice. I have one at home.
Lab name: Brachyury, Tailless, etc
Fancier name: Tailless
Genotype: There are far too many forms of genes which can cause tailless to mention here. Some are dominant and some recessive. The most common tail modifying gene in the US is believed to be Brachyury T/*. However, this is not meant to cause no tails, just short/half tails, though some people try to breed them beyond what the gene is meant to do. This is only successful a small fraction of the time. In other countries, such as AU, they have true tailless mice. It is a recessive gene, yet unknown in the mouse community.
Chromosome: 17
Originated: Too many to specify.
Show class: Tailless, where recognized.
General description: Tailless mice should have little to no tail (no tail preferable). If tail is present, it should be free of kinks. Back should be free if abnormalities.

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.
