i used to run my dogs with a friend who had a 5/8 3/8 bull greyhound which had chewed its tail so bad it was docked he was an amazing worker both day and lamp on all quarries before and after docking, i was told that his balance should have been affected but it clearly was not, he was always a 3 out of 3 dog.

Thats correct Chimp, Pie lost his tail after an 'altication' with a car door. Lost it quite early too and though a dog is better with a full 'rudder', it never stopped him from earning his reputation!

 

TimmyK off here has a 3/4 bull x, thats had most of its tail amputated and that dog is not showing any sign of it's loss in the field Though being a pied dog he now looks like a Pointer with aids!

I have a Stag bitch with no tail..amputated after she broke it. Hasn't affected her hunting in anyway,...her breaking her neck has not helped however!

i had a colie x with half a tail had to get it amputated cause he snapped it didnt efect him at all in the field

[gnipper 6,543]

Mines had about a third took off and I don't think its made a difference, the lay off made him a bit mad keen though

If I ever had to get it done again i'd get more taken off because it was a nightmare with him being able to reach the wound licking it and eating dressings and stitches and preventing it from healing.

had a lurcher with half a tail after getting it caught up in chicken wire one night never made the slightest differance in her work or turning also had a greyhound with a stump who flew round the bends same as if he had a full tail . in my opinion its a old wives tail no pun intended lol.

My Uncle Bill had a dog Paddy , he was out of his old collie x, Nell this was just after WW2,Paddy was born with a stump of a tail ,he caught all game that was around in Kent,hares,[given no law],just hunted up, ducks taken off dykes,several pheasants and partridges,and countless bunnies, maybe he would have done better with a full tail ,but he kept the pot filled in tough times.
