LizT Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I was watching a bit of an old Movie last weekend "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood. circa 1960's Anyway in one scene a fellow was surroudned by a group of lovely little pugs (maybe six of them?), all appeared to have trim waists and a good spring of rib and were lovely little dogs. As they filmed the back end of the dogs I noticed they all had happy straight waggy tails. I'm sure I've only seen them with little curled tails.

huga Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Lola's tail is straight when she's tired or sad, but always curly when she's happy and waggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Ollie's is curled unless he's been naughty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindii Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Hugo's is not curly. Sometimes people ask if he's a cross breed because his tail isn't curly.. Poor Hoogz. He has perfect Samoyed carriage actually ETA pic: Greedy Pug with straight tail ETA oh a better one! (mind the leaves! It's from when Fletcher was a pup and he had an addiction) Edited April 23, 2010 by Bindii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Lovely photos ;) Maybe he's been copying the Samoyed LOL :D But they are carrying their tails over their backs..the pugs in the movie ALL had straight tails wagging out behind them??!!

Bluefairy Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Zoe has a tail that curls one way and is kinda bent/broken and bends back again. She carries it over her back when walking, running it is out behind her semi straight (as I said it is bent or broken), or when she is asleep its this way. Bent: I have never seen a pug with a straight tail. It usually has some bend in it. Weird I'll have to watch the movie now to check it out BF Edited April 25, 2010 by Bluefairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Pugs should have a double curl tail, it's one of the hallmarks of the breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug Hugger Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yep - a double curl is ideal but I have seen a number of pugs with only a single curl or with a slight kink only. Never one with a completely straight tail though! Even the cross I have seen ( ) still seem to have that kink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
