Is a dog's tail long or short?

All dogs have long tails. The reason why there are some dogs with short tails is because they had their tails docked for work. Now people have become accustomed to them with docked tails, so businesses still keep the docked tails. If parents like dogs with long tails, they can tell the merchant about their tail habits.

Tip:

A dog’s tail is very important for dogs. They can express emotions and stabilize the body. Dogs without tails lack these functions.
