Well, isnt this an incorrect tail anyway? Shouldn't the correct tail be used
for balance, and like a rudder? Could incorrect croups cause this?
An incorrect tail? These are just long heavy tails, that are carried
low...as for balance and a rudder...I had a bitch whose tail had to be
amputated at
3 weeks old. She ran and jumped and gaited absolutely perfectly. I do not
think she speaks for the breed, but I do not think the tail has anything to do
with being a rudder, or helping with balance. My pup has a lovely long sloping
croup, one of the best I've ever had or seen. His long tail is a beautiful
extension of his croup, and makes a lovely line. It is not dead, but is doesn't
look good either! I have gotten lots of posts of dogs with normally happy
tails who just hold their tails low when gaiting and appear to have dead
tails.
Not so, but it sure is a problem. Next time a judge puts up a "dead" tail, I
am going to pay better attention, and see if that judge maybe is a smart
cookie. Syd
