Medically, no, it is not necessary to dock (snip or shorten) a bulldog's tail. However, breed standards in the US and possibly other countries require a bulldog's tail to be docked for show purposes, and most people who own a bulldog will have the tail docked.

No. According to the AKC breed standards, a purebred English Bulldog's tail isn't docked, it's naturally short.
