Does your Boxer have a natural tail?

[jmj924]

My boxer mix has a natural tail. It looks very similar to the one in the picture, it is curved with a white tip on the end. People tell me all the time "he would look just like a boxer if he didn't have the tail..." Not sure what that is exactly supposed to mean, but it doesn't matter to me...

Maci is docked, dew claws removed with natural ears, i wish she was all natural (wasn't my choice i rescued her). My mum has a jack russell thats not docked IMO it looks much better.

Imo (please don't take it the wrong way, i don't meen to ofend anyone) Why have painfull surgery done to a dog when its not needed due to the risk of the op and infection

People are all intitled to their own opinion weather to have this done or not

Freya was docked when we picked her out(at four weeks) but the breeder said she almost didn't do it because they were such cute little white tipped things wagging as they nursed. I have seen boxers with tails and man are those tails long and deadly They certainly are cute with long tails and much more expression but I think my house would have a lot of clean surfaces with an undocked boxer My husband contends that they started docking because they made lousy gaurd dogs what with the tail wagging, you just can't see that nub head on

As active is he is, I'm sure he would knock over everything in the house if it were left natural

All 3 of my babies are docked, Rubys is the longest!

Call me crazy, but for me...

...the waggin' nub is part of the appeal.

Tatum's tail is docked and with kids its probably a good thing!! My friend has a Great Dane and boy does it hurt when she gets you with her tail!

Docked

Jackie doesn't have her natual tail, it was already docked when we got her so we really didn't have a chance to decide, but I think we would of docked it anyways. She does however have her natural ears.

sometimes I wonder

I think I like the natural tails too, but I wouldn't change anything about my baby. I think his little nubby is cute when it wiggles.

We rehomed Bruno when he was about 9 months old and his tail was already docked. The first boxer I saw with a natural tail was just now looking at Jazz's photos. Natural is nice too
