Not all dogs have tails. I prefer a dog that has no tail.
Australian Shepherds are one of the breeds that may be born with a stubby tail, or a long one, but I like mine with a stubby or a tail that is docked off.
Only one of our dogs is this way, the other three have theres, and getting hit with a tail well.... but they would look funny without there tails and Mr. already had one dog when we got together and the other two were older when we got them and I feel it is cruel to dock tails older then days old (hours old, minutes even).
Sheep have tails too, since Aussies used to work sheep( and other critters now) it was said that the farmers would do the same to there dogs as they would do with the sheep. Now it is just common for this breed....This is just one of the stories why this breed has docked tails or stubbies....

You in no way hear definitive solutions, possibly, in view which you will no longer hear? Admittedly, some human beings use scripture to sell hatred, bigotry and violence, and those human beings are no extra useful than terrorists who pervert the Koran to get infants to accomplish suicide missions. those are the persons who're the real hypocrites and take a seat in judgement, yet in addition harm the religion and God they declare to revere and love. no longer all Christians even remotely in high quality condition the define above. possibly your concept is altered by employing a feeling of superiority or a strategies closed or lots extra probable, persons that have attacked you or your self-particularly worth, the two bodily or manipulatively. particular, the belief of a monotheistic God is a paradox.....All-present day yet own, 3 and yet one, enjoyed and yet feared. yet only by way of fact it particularly is a paradox would not advise it won't have the ability to exist. And a dogs chasing its tail effective appears like this is having exciting.....

There was no evolutionary advantage to not having tails, and since the precursors had tails, modern dogs do also.

Dogs use their tails to communicate to other dogs (and humans) and for balance when they run.

Because God made them that way. He wanted them to have tails.

It's genetic. It's inherited on the chromosomes.
