Natural bobtailed coonhound
Had a litter of full blooded english dogs born yesterday and one was born bobtailed. Has anyone else seen this before?
Short tails can occur due to in-utero injuries, such as puppies being squished. Two other ways they occur can be either a natural bobtail gene such as you see in pembroke welsh corgis or a midline defect. Midline defects are things such as kinks in tails, short tails or worse open spines, etc.
Heavy inbreeding can cause these to pop up more, usually recommended not to breed those dogs on in any case as then it can become a problem in a line. I've seen it in several different full tailed breeds over the years.
It is caused by a mutation in a gene. It is very rare but can happen. They can have a bobbed tail or no tail at all.
