I have one with a docked tail and one without. Lola's tail is just about the cutest thing and she is so expressive with it. I know when she is extremely happy and when she is about to bark at me for ignoring her(she wags it real fast then
) Chewy's was docked. It's cute, but I tend to think it would have been a beautiful, long and thick tail. Standard or not, I prefer a tail.
