More info has to be given even for a guess.
it depends on who is docking the tail the vet or a breeder
When it is a DOG.
Australian Cattle Dogs and Blue Heelers are the same thing. 'Australian Cattle Dog' is it's official name, but we (In Australia) often call them blue or red heelers for the colour of their coat and their ability to 'heel' cattle. There are however 2 breeds of Bluey (we shorten everything in Aus, it's got a nickname for the nickname). One is the Australian Cattle Dog and the other is the Australian Stumpy-Tailed Cattle Dog. They look pretty much the same, except for the obvious; one has a short tail.
A Shorkie adults tail only gets cut when it is frightened. A puppy does not.
for looks
short tail
Yes. The Lynx has a short tail.
The American bobtail has a short tail because the short tail gene is more dominate.
A pigs tail is short and curly.
When they aren't looking
If you adopt a six-week old Boxer puppy with an undocked tail, there is no need to take it to the vet, it is to late to have the tail docked.
