I see a lot of cow dogs with docked tails...always wondered why.
Around here, we dock the tails so they so they don't hit the hot wire on the fence as the dog scoots under. Have you ever seen a heeler run with his tail low?
They will duck low and crawl under a fence, never touching their shoulders or hips. But they inevitably hook the bottom wire with their tail if it is long.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
