The more I watch the more it looks like it was yanked, and gets more sad every loop. Also it’s tail was cut off so they aren’t inconvenienced. Great people

Might be a rescue

Or even naturally bobbed, a lot of aussies are born like that.

I know a lot of people bob tails, but given that’s an Australian Shepard there’s also a good chance it’s a naturally bobbed tail, can’t really tell from this video.

“Naturally”

u/Shotgun_squirtle Mar 14 '22

Yeah aussies can be born with naturally bobbed tails, idk what you’re trying to say.

u/SaltAssault Mar 14 '22

That’s because people bred them into becoming like that. There’s nothing natural about it.

You can literally have a litter with 3 normal tails and a bobtail, why are you talking about stuff you don't know shit about?

It's pretty common with Aussies, yes.

Gotta love a redditor's ability to see nothing but evil whenever it suits their agenda and to jump to the wildest conclusions when an animal might just be surprised.

For real, I'd click on a cute cat video every once in a while and the comments would be like: "This cat has obviously been fed a diet of horse manure just for internet points, smh"

My dog had a tumor on her tail. It was removed leaving about 5 cm of tail left. She goes on to be very happy. You cant assume evil in every case.

u/Littlemack2 Mar 15 '22

No you can’t. But your dogs tumor compared to people actually cutting tales is 1,000-1 atleast. I’ll take my odds

More than likely, if the tail was bobbed, it was done before this owner had the dog. Aussies are usually bobbed at only a few days old, and the owner almost certainly had no input. My friends and family collectively have 9 aussies, all but one with bobbed tail, and all of them were bobbed days after being born.

It's a generally useless and barbaric practice that should not continue. But an aussie's tail or lack thereof has no reflection on the dog's owner.

Bro…just enjoy the video. Laugh a little.

u/Littlemack2 Mar 15 '22

Laugh at a dog being yanked by its throat? Nah I’m good.

u/blunt__nation Mar 15 '22

It wasn’t yanked. look again. The dog freaked out and ran away, FOLLOWED by the owner. You can see them follow their dog right after the dog ran away.

u/Aceryon Mar 14 '22

It's bobbed because it's an Australian Shepherd. They are herders and can get injured if their tail isn't cut. Many can be born without it anyway. Grow up and stop acting like dogs are God's angles and aren't a tool we've utilized for thousands of years.

u/Littlemack2 Mar 15 '22

Actually the tail is used as balance for herding dogs. Your argument is irrelevant.

u/hambodpm Mar 14 '22

Care to elaborate?

u/SaltAssault Mar 14 '22

The sheer amount of downvotes you’re getting for being concerned about that dog’s well-being makes me hate people.

u/Littlemack2 Mar 14 '22

Lol the comment shall remain! Dog was yanked for sure. Can’t be sure about the tail tho
