Do feists have naturally "docked" tails? I got my dog from a shelter and he has a tail about half the length of a normal dogs tail. I’ve always wandered if it was docked when he was a puppy or if he was born that way!

Feists can be born with either full tails or bob tails. Australian Shepherds, Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs, Brittany Spaniels, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Boston Terriers, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Old English Sheepdogs, and others can as well! Therefore, not every short tail = docked, but typically if these breeds are born with long tails they get docked anyway. So it is hard to say.
