∙ 15y agoThe veterinarian cuts off the excess length and then puts in a stitch for healing. This is done when the puppy is between three and five days old and they are very small. That way there is minimal pain or bleeding and they heal very quickly. Some countries, such as Great Britain no longer dock tails or crop ears.

∙ 12y agoIt is possible for dogs to be born with natural bobtails, but the gene for this is very rare. Breeders are aspiring to reintroduce natural bobtails to breeds such as Boxers and Dobermanns, which can no longer be docked legally in England. The tailless gene is sometimes seen in the Rottweiler and Old English Sheepdog.

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.
Why do dogs tails need to be docked?
AnswerYou can blame it on breeders and dogs being in Show. When dogs are bred for Show there are requirements of certain breeds whether the dog was born that way or not. There are some breeds of dogs that are born with stubby tails.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is not just a show thing for several breeds of dog. The docking of a tale in some species of dog, especially work dogs but also for some breeds of house dogs, can prevent medical problems such as infection and necrosis in the dogs adult life. Some dogs are prone to injuring their tales, which takes a long time to heal. This can lead to infection, pain, and death of tissue in the dogs tail, requiring surgery. Even with surgery, an adult dog (or most dogs over a few days old) have a slower healing time, increased stress levels due to the procedure, and a risk of infection which may even lead to the death of the animal. Before taking an anti-docking stance, I would suggest researching more into the reasons behind it. It is often a preventative measure to ensure less medical problems in the adult dog.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are a number of historical reasons for tail docking which have nothing to do with dog showing. See the link below for more information.
