bulldog tails

Question
Are English bulldogs born with tails/ Are they usually docked? My 4month old male pup has about an 8 inch tail, straight and taperd. Sometimes he pulls it down real tight to his butt, and sometimes he holds it straight out.  I don't think I've ever seen a bulldog with a tail. What's the deal?

Answer
Bulldog tails ( English bullie can have a full tail: )   SEE here:
Tail--The tail may be either straight or "screwed" (but never curved or curly), and in any case must be short, hung low, with decided downward carriage, thick root and fine tip. If straight, the tail should be cylindrical and of uniform taper. If "screwed," the bends or kinks should be well defined, and they may be abrupt and even knotty, but no portion of the member should be elevated above the base or root.
