Details
Sometimes referred to as "natural bob-tails" this mutation is responsible for the shorter tail length in some breeds, such as Pembroke Welsh Corgi or Boxer. Not to be confused with dogs who have had manually docked tails.
Details 2
This is responsible for reduced tail length in some traditionally short-tailed breeds, such as Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
