I think the tail should act as a rudder..in motion it still should be
carried as a sabre. Off to the side some is ok as long as it doesn't
distract from the outline of the dog. Kicking the tail..or a tail that
looks dead or "stick straight" is indicative of a "problem" whether it is
neuro muscular..or fixed..or whatever..I don't know..but it ain't
right..One way or the other..I don't want dead tails..or curly tails..so I
simply avoid breeding to those lines where is see this prevalence.
