Aussies With Tails!

Tail Included!

At Arkie Rooted Aussies, we prioritize the well-being of our puppies by leaving their tails intact. We believe in doing what's best for our dogs, and unnecessary tail docking doesn't align with that principle. Our mission includes changing the perception of what an Aussie looks like, as many assume they are born without a tail when, in fact, most are docked at birth. Not only is docking illegal in several countries now, but it is also condemned by reputable veterinary associations.

While docking was initially believed to prevent rabies, the current rationale of preventing tail injuries while working stock is widely debatable, with minimal supporting research. Miniature and Toy Aussies, unlikely to be "working stock," have no compelling reason for docking. Cosmetic reasons fall short, especially when their beautiful tails contribute to the overall aesthetic of the Aussie breed. At Arkie Rooted Aussies, we extend an invitation for you to join us in ensuring the love and care our dogs deserve, and we eagerly look forward to helping you find the perfect addition to your family.
