I didn't know.
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.

I have heelers and we don't doc the tails up here. Of course, we don't have many wired fences around here. That tail is like a rudder for them, helps them get around a lot quicker and on target. JMHO

6 weeks old today. They are coloring up good and getting their personalities ironed out. I decided to keep the little female red that is most like mom. She is the one to the right in the group pic, 3rd from left in the step pic, and a sleeping pic of her. I call her Dolly. I've had other females named Kelly, Roxy, Sally, Lacy, Shale and the mom (Miss Lorena/Loree Darlin'). The blue female (Crazy Cora) is really people oriented, and such a sweetie, that the decision was tough...... Damn, I'm going to have a hard time when I have to get rid of the rest in a couple weeks. I've had more fun with these guys since they was born, than I've had for a long time. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c124/huntsman22/IMG_3473.JPEG) ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c124/huntsman22/IMG_3500.JPEG) ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c124/huntsman22/IMG_3455.JPEG) Dam them some cute pups.......and the thread has been great from the beginning....... Gonna need to transition to a smaller breed once my lab moves on, and this has been entertaining to follow.

Heeler's are loyal and smart dogs. Excellent used around livestock.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Teri thinks you should name her Rayzer, because she's sharp....

If you are working on dairy’s or feedlots …….
A dog with no tail ain’t gonna slap u in the face with manure when it jumps in the pickup.
Beautiful puppies……
They are so fun as puppies….my new one is having her first heat…..
We decided not to breed her….
She gonna get spaded

Great looking pups. Always liked the look of a red heeler but I don't have a job for one. Wouldn't be real fair for them.

So it's about as critical as you wife wanting to have the boys circumcised so that everyone matches?
Got it.

The genetic makeup of the Aussie breed is such that the last third of the tail is brittle and delicate, making it prone to breaking or splitting, which would cause a lot more pain and trauma for the dog than the process of tail docking.

That makes sense. I was looking at two of my dogs the other day with a thermal monocular and the hound/cur mix has a thick tail that was the same temperature color as the rest of his body (except his nose). The thinner tail of the Pit mix was cold as her nose through the thermal. No meat/circulation in there.
Now with even more aplomb

You better sleep with one eye open. Looks like she's got something in mind.
