| There is nothing in the standard about tails so it is a bit up to the judge. Most jugdes do not say anything about it. Only one pup in my breeding was born with no tail. The tail was about 6 joints and crooked. She was not docked, the vet said he would not do it. This dog has been shown twice and the judges did not comment on it. But I guess some judges will not place such a dog high. Most dogs born with such tail, get docked and therefore not allowed to show. So we do not see much of it.
