Don't dock the tail if you can help it. Not all Australian Shepherds need a tail bob, since some are born with a natural bob.
Old English Sheepdogs typically have a naturally short tail or no tail at all. Historically, many were docked for working purposes, leading to the breed's characteristic stubby tail appearance. However, in some regions, tail docking is now prohibited, and you may find Old English Sheepdogs with full tails. Overall, whether they have a tail can vary based on breeding practices and local regulations.
Tail docking is illegal in the UK, and this applies to all breeds of dog, including the Old English Sheepdog.
Tail docking of dogs for prophylactic (preventative) or cosmetic reasons is illegal in all Australian states. Tail docking by a vet for therapeutic reasons, such as if the tail is injured, is the only legal form of tail docking for dogs in Australia.
Australian Shepherds can be born with either a naturally long tail, a naturally bobbed tail, or no tail at all (naturally tailless). Tail docking is discouraged or banned in many countries, so it is best to check with a reputable breeder to see what type of tail a specific Australian Shepherd may have.
