Same here...none that I know of except it being the Standard. Brody has a natural, undocked tail...I love it...wish Mia did.
But, I am with you...I too wonder why and how it started. I have never seen anything about it's origin in any of my research or reading material. I even wondered if it was initially due to injury in a working show dog...or to prevent injury, and was either considered 'cute' and continued, or if maybe a dog that had lost its tail won and everyone else just 'copied' the look, hoping to increase their chances of winning, too. I'm weird..I know...I am VERY curious of the reason, though.
Thank you for this thread. Maybe some knowledgeable person will enlighten the rest of us.
