Video from Dogs 101 on the Australian Shepherd if you are looking for a general overview

*One problem though with this video; they said that Aussies are born with a Naturally Docked Tail.  This is false; most Aussies are born with tails that are docked when they are just 3 days old.  If two Aussies are bred with Naturally Bobbed Tails you will commonly get puppies with spinal cord problems that have to be euthanized.  So please ignore that part of the video.*

People have been asking us what an Australian Shepherd with a tail looks like. Below are some examples of the Aussie's beautiful fluffy tails. Aussie tails can be various lengths because the quality of the tail has not been looked at when breeding since it is normally cut off. As more and more breeders choose to keep tails intact the quality of the tail will eventually return. 

*We did not breed all of these dogs but it gives you an idea.*

Australian Shepherds with Tails can still be very successful and accomplish anything that a docked tailed Aussie can.

So then why cut off their beautiful tails?

The following videos are not from any of our litters but show some of the amazing things Aussies can do.

This is a fantastic video on the true instincts of the Australian Shepherd.
