While it's true that on rare occassions OES are born without tails, the vast 
majority of them still have their tails bobbed/docked at a very early age.  
Their tails aren't short, but are regular "dog length".

Yeaaa, for some ODD reason, my earlier post wasn't noted concerning
this as well.  OESs are born without tails - but I understand some aren't
accepted as there may be  1 or 2 vertebrae and they cut anyway --
I gave a trivia info that docking & circumcising is done BEFORE 2
days of age because of less blood flow.  Tails were originally done
on hunting breeds to protect the short furred dogs as they go thru
heavy brush etc. I've seen some tails get bloody while working.  The
ears were originally docked on guard and/or fighting dogs, like I saw
Jackie mention, to avoid being grabbed by the ears.  Who knows --
