When the dogs are born their tail is fairly long. Normal leagnth. But breeders usually dock (Cut) their tail when they are puppies.
Well most botons are born with a screw tails in skin, to register them for the Kennel but some breeds do cut the tail off because if it is too deep in the skin, cutting in the skin then the vet tell the breeder to have it cute, that is why some are short, also some breeder cut them because they want them to have short tails like natural bostons that the Kennel club require but if it looks cut and don't have a screw tail then they consider that it is a mix breed and not full blooded, just like the nose you can buy a Boston with a pink dot on it nose but it should turn black by 1yr then if not the kennel consider it to be a mixed breed. But breeders don;t tell you that.
