 |  |  |  | Hello, just found this thread. Lol. That would be me being late to the party. I took a look at your pictures and your tail is docked. Hate to tell you that but you do not have a natural tail. Your tail is the length which every other show PRT is in the States unless they were from Europe or might be exported there.
The chances of it being a natural tail are about 1 in a million. It is the exact same length that all of mine have had theirs docked to. To properly do a PRT tail when you dock it you take of 1/3 of the tail. Some people do only 1/4, but never more than either of those or the tail appears too short. Jacks are known for having tails docked shorter.
I would be willing to almost place money on your tail being docked even if the breeder said that it was not done. Unless that is that your current mommy is the one who was there when you were born through a week old, the truth will never be known.
You can take a look at all of my terriers pages and see their tails. Look at Highlander (aka George) for probably the best pictures. Stella had hers done by a vet who did not know better and has a shorter dock than what most Rotties have.
Hope that helps  |  |  |  |  |
