However, docking is now banned in most countries and this is reflected in the FCI Country of Origin Breed Standard.Although once 'preferred' in early Standards, in 2018 the FCI Standard was amended to classify the Natural Bob Tail (aka 'Stumpy') as a 'Disqualifying Fault' along with 'kink tail, ring-tail, with strong lateral deviation. The coat consists of an outer coat and an undercoat. The undercoat must not show through the outer coat. Rottweilers living in hot climates may have acclimatised and may be missing the undercoat. Rottweiler coats tend to be low maintenance, although they experience heavy shedding before their seasons (females) or seasonally (males).
