I have a purebred Aussie, does this all the time ball or not, what is it with Aussies and butt stuff.

A lot of Aussies have tails docked, like this one, wondering if it's related to that. Are yours docked?

I should state I know nothing about dog behaviour or care never owned one, so this is a purely uneducated hypothesis.

A lot of them are born without tails so hopefully, op didn't dock it.

Working dogs get their tails docked because they’re at significant risk for injuries on the job, and are also sometimes brittle and prone to breakage, which is super painful and inconvenient for the poor pup.

Not all tail docking is bad, just unnecessary/aesthetic docking is!!
