Best Answer

According to the breed standard of the American Kennel Club (AKC), a Lakeland Terrier's tail should be docked so that the tip is in level with the occiput when the dog is standing in a show position.

However, if you are not showing your dog, there is no reason why you should dock your Lakeland Terrier's tail. Docking causes great pain to the dog, and may also be illegal in some countries such as the UK.

Do norwich teriers bark?

he Norwich, unlike some of the other terriers, does not need constant stimulation. Norwich Terriers will dig and bark if left unattended or without anything to entertain them for long periods of time, but by and large, they let life roll off their backs. They are decent short distance runners, and will thrive if played with daily. Norwich Terriers are not the most active of terriers and when compared with the Patterdale or the Westie, might even be considered aloof. The Norwich Terrier is easy to train and likes following rules and developing habits.


Are Boston terriers born with tails?

Is a dog tail length or size genetic?

For some breeds yes. For example, an Australian Cattle Dog is usually seen with a long tail, but there is the Australian Stumpy tail Cattle Dog, which (in my opinion) seems pretty if not exactly similar. Other dog breeds have docked tails. Some breeders/breeds have been bred to have shorter tails.

When should a Boston Terrier's tail be docked?

Yes, Boston Terriers can have their tails docked. However, Boston Terriers with docked tails are disapproved or even disqualified by some reputable kennel clubs such as the American Kennel Club (AKC). Docking of tails on dogs is also banned in some countires, including the United Kingdom. Some people believe that docking is cruel, as this process is done when the puppy is only a few days old and causes great pain. Docking is also unnecessary, and should not be done unless if you want to enter the dog into a dog show in the future.

This is different for different breeds. For example, a Rottweiler must be docked at the first joint close to the body, and a Weimeraner should be docked by one third. To find out the length of docking for each breed, consult their breed standard.
