We got our dog from the Humane Society. There was history from when he was 6 weeks old & adopted from a newspaper ad for blue heelers. He looks more like a Stumpy Tail than and ACD and pretty much fits the description of a Stumpy Tail, except that his ears are do not point. Is he possibly a Stumpy Tail with "flying nun" ears? Also, how likely would it be to find a Stumpy Tail in Seattle, WA? Thanks!
I'm a breeder in Oregon. Not too far from WA. I'm listed on this site if you're interested in learning more about the breed and seeing purebred Stumpies.
We got our dog from a neighbor that wasn't sure if his tail was docked or he was born this way. He has no tail at all, it's flush with his body. Do stumpies come this way?
Some Stumpies are born stumpy-tail, some are born'rumpy-tailed', and some are born with tails. We have 1 stumpy-tail and 2 rumpy-tail ASTCDs. When we had our first litter we had 3 tailed puppies and 5 born either Stumpy or rumpy tailed.
My ASTCD cannot go to the dog park anymore because he wants to pick fights with the other dogs for no reason. He gets real snappy and the other dogs react accordingly. Any one else have this problem? any answers?
We bought our first dog(astcd)in 94 for ten dollars at a horse sale best ten bucks Ive ever spent and have had a leash on her maybe twice ever in her life and the moment you put it on she instantly dummies up doesnt know what that means or why we would do that to her. We can walk her past dogs cats farm animals and until she hers a command from us does nothing but waits for us she always walks behind us and we have noticed through the years that she prefers us to all be in the same room together if not she constantly is checking I have three astcds and this is by far the smartest breed of dog I have ever seen or owned. These dogs are the most loyal in my opinion of all dogs all they want to do is make you happy their number one focus in life if trained properly will go any where with you and do just about anything you ask of them.
My 3 y/o stumpy was exactly the same (and he would pull and ‘talk’ all the way to the park). We found that getting another stumpy really helped- he is so much calmer and quieter around other dogs. We also found that playing soccer in the yard before we walked him and taking the ball to play with at the park helped as well.
They are pack dogs and their instint is tho become the leader you have to take control before you go out and stay in control or they will control you I stand in front of my dog and the take a step forward towards him and tell him to sit we do not move till he does and generally it get his attention and he will walk with his head slumpe down but continues to look at me for direction.
Mine is the same way! When he acts this way I put his leash on and firmly control him. This is a smart breed. He then behaves, for the most part. He may need a little command, but has make huge improvements when I started doing this.
