Bindo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 This is NOT a pro or anti-docking thread, so please don't turn it into one. I'm just interested in what the tails are looking like in previously docked dogs? My new rescue Missy (mini schnauzer) has the most beautifully shaped tail, and it never stops wagging. Everyone who meets her comments on what a lovely tail she has; it looks like a plume on a hat! My other mini, Lucy's, is shorter and a different shape. This is what the breed standard says: Undocked: Set on and carried high, of moderate length to give general balance to the dog. Thick at root and tapering towards the tip, as straight as possible, carried jauntily. Not sure about the tapering towards the tip and straight, but she certainly fulfills the bolded bit! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 H1 by clover_elvis, on Flickr Rough coat JRT with full tail. His tail sits up and over his back but it should be quite strait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 My husky isn't a traditionally docked breed. But she has one of the worst tails ever. She still has no undercoat on it. Hasn't since she was a puppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maeby Fünke Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Oh sorry, previously docked dogs! I just read the title and thought it was a chance to show off my Pug's double curl tail! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Oh sorry, previously docked dogs!

Lady Flying Furball Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I absolutely love corgi tails so hope someone has a picture of them. They are almost as big as the whole dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Oh that's OK guys, any interesting and gorgeous tails are more than welcome :) Did someone ask for gorgeous? Try a Tibbie, whose curled tail is taller than his head. (click to enlarge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My ex 'working type' cocker :) All the better for storing little burrs!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel_ Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Cavalier tail! Would love to get a pic with his tail more up but it's constantly wagging. Wow CrazyCresties, must've taken you a while to get those burrs out! So many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) My Tentie has a curly wurly tail that goes to one side haha - the curlier it is the more excited he is - Tenties are a bit different in that they have a NBT gene - some of Kyzer's litter mates had natural bob tails Edited May 3, 2013 by pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Will post a variety of corgi tails later if I remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I love the little white tip that Boxers (previously a docked breed) have on their tails. A fast-moving 'indicator' of happiness. :laugh: Hopefully I can get these photos to work (apologies for the large size).

mixeduppup Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I LURVE Ammo's tail. And I think Huxley's tail is adorable. He's (best guess) JRT, Schnauzer and acd :laugh: but his tail is all scruffy like him. Edited May 3, 2013 by mixeduppup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
