A dogs tail is made of cartlidge so therefore can be flexible and be wagged or curled up or down. Generally if the tail looks relaxed and is up- they are happy.

Some people "dock" their dogs' tails. That is to say they have them cut off when they are very young. Other than that, different species of dog have differing tail-lengths.

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.

Is a pigs tail long or short?

A pigs tail is short and curly.


The offspring of two short-tailed cats have 25 percent chance of having no tail a 25 percent chance of having a long tail and a 50 percent chance of having a short tail Based on this information wh?

The reason is because short tail cats have both genes of a no tail cat and a genes of a long tail cat. Lets say that a long tail gene is called gene A, and a no tail gene is called gene B. if both cats have short tails that means both cats have both genes A and B equally. so there is a 50-50 chance that each cat gives either gene to the baby This means the possible combinations are that one cat gives the baby an A and the other a B, remember that this possibility comes up twice since it doesn't matter which cat gives the A or the B. The other possibilities are that both cats give the kitten an A, or both cats give the kitten a B. That leaves AB(short tail), BA(short tail), AA(long tail), BB(no tail) so 25% for no tail, 25% for long tail, and 50% for short tail.
