My Hailee had her tail docked WAY too short...it is barely 1 inch long....I never see it wag because as it wags side to side, there is so little of it to go to the side, you can not see it go! Normally, you dock where the tan meets the black under the tail...or where the tail on a pup noticeable goes from thicker to thinner....whoever docked Hailees tail almost took the whole thing off!
