Pure 100% BS. On our Hereford ranch we have had many types of dogs including Labradors and Golden Retrievers, our hunting dogs who always accompany us on roundups. Never in 68 years have I seen a dog with a damaged tail from anything. Our Australian Shepards were bobbed before we got them. My ACD has a beautiful tail.

An easy way to tell naturally stumpy vs. docked is that a stumpy tail will be fully furry all over, whereas a docked tail will have a bald spot (scar tissue) knub where docking occurred. While the Stumpy Tail ACD is it’s own breed (no red at all on the coat is the big difference compared to a classic ACD), regular ACDs can be born with stumpy ...

2023年6月3日 · Stumpy tail cattle dogs are pretty rare outside of Australia! The American lines of ACDs however did have stumpy tails crossed into the breed, so a lot of ACDs here do have the gene for a naturally stumpy tail. I learned this recently myself and it just makes me appreciate both breeds even more. They have a surprising amount of history!

2021年11月9日 · The Australian Cattle Dog is a breed distinct from the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, a square-bodied dog born with a naturally "bobbed" tail. The Stumpy Tail resembles the Australian Cattle Dog, but has a taller, leaner conformation. It occasionally has a natural long thin tail, but most are born without tails.

2023年4月10日 · Just curious if anyone else’s pups have a stub tail. Ours was born at a shelter. The mother was taken in pregnant and gave birth to 6 pups. One with no tail, two with stubs, and three with full tails. The tests show he’s mostly Australian Cattle Dog, and about the same amount lab, followed by American pit bull terrier and some German shepherd.

2017年6月25日 · I've got a stumpy tailed ACD/ Australian Shepherd (although he definitely favors ACD) mix. He had a bit of a longer tail at birth but broke it as a pup and ended up with a cute little nub. He's got a partial mask and tan markings on his paws and eyebrows. Cute lil guy.

In the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog (different but closely related breed, and rare even in Australia), her color is recognized and called "blue," but in that breed, tan points are incorrect, exactly the opposite from ACDs where the "blues" are tan points dogs.

As it gets older, you should be able to see the differences between a true ACD and the Texas Heeler in the body and hind quarters, as well as their coat.
