I have had had three docked and one undocked by the way! I cannot imagine mine with a tail ever getting caught in undergrowth and she goes in plenty
Yeah I was thinking about springers, for patterdales its what Marion said so you can pull them from a hole.

I have two patterdales btw one docked and one undocked
