Yes a breeder told me. Check out these pages. http://www.netpets.org/dogs/healthspa/case4dock.html and http://www.cdb.org/what_is.htm

They don't mention anything about whether the tail bone is present or not and not being a vet I don't know for sure, but it is a breed standard for many dogs and I'm ok with that.
