Are setters docked or the other retrievers?

Re: undocked tails - doesn't it seem weird?
I dont think so, i do know that springers are docked because they do a different job to the labs/retrievers and they actually move their tails different when i look at my springer the one i have that isnt docked they move it in a circular movement thats why the undergrowth gets caught up easier and entwines quite tight.

Re: undocked tails - doesn't it seem weird?
Yeah I was wondering when you said labs were the only undocked working breed

I can only recall seeing springers and cockers in the gun dog breeds being docked, they just stand out to me but i could be wrong.
