Geminiae Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Got a Border Collie yesterday, (Friday 18th Dec) and noticed his tail is really short, called up the ex owner and asked him about it- he laughed and said his tail is short because he’s a puppy I didn’t know what to say so I just said oh okay and tried doing my research into this, it really doesn’t appear to be docked or anything because like the whole tail is there it’s just tiny- does anybody know why or how? The only thing I could find is that this may be genetic? The websites I went through are a decade old I’m not sure what to think- either way him and his tail are adorable.

Twarmymm Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 We just noticed the runt of our litter has a short tail ; don’t know if it’s been that way since birth cuz we didn’t notice b4 today and they are 3 weeks old tomorrow so I’m wondering also!

Riika Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I’ve had it in a few litters, two of the litters having the same sire. They ranged from full tails, 3/4, 1/2, and short “docked” tails, all within the same litter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
