bobtailed
With shortened rear
Bobtailed describes an animal, especially a horse or dog, whose tail has been cut short or is naturally short.
The word appears in the classic song "Jingle Bells": Bells on bobtail ring.
By extension, bobtailed can mean curtailed or abbreviated: a bobtailed version of the original plan.
