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.

Are bulldog puppies tails docked at birth?

If your dog was born tailless then there will not even be a stub and the tail will be completely missing. Docked tails usually leave a small amount of the tail intact so the dog will have some of its tail left. The natural bobtail gene is very rare and it is unlikely that your dog was born like it.
