About The American Bobtail The American Bobtail is a naturally-occurring breed characterized by a short tail and wide variety of colors. They can be found in both shorthaired and longhaired varieties.
Males are larger than females, and have typical "male" features such as jowls. Their look is wild, but their temperament is good-natured and adaptable. American Bobtails are good family pets for a wide range of ages and get along well with other animals if properly introduced. They may be reserved initially, but quickly warm up to friends.
