First what are the faults by CzW when it comes to the tail:
*** too long (the tail is longer than the hock joint or if it even touch the ground)
*** low set (hard to explain but I showed the right settlement in the last post. Anyway dogs which low settled tail tend to have the tails always down))
*** wrong position (usualy given by dogs which have always tail on the belly so the tail looks like rolled up on the belly)
*** deformed (sometimes you meet dogs with "broken" tails)
*** untypical (it will take dog with basenji tail
- so far there were no dogs which get such note)
In many cases you can see also "háček na ocase" (hook on the tail - curly tail). It is a unwanted remains from the German Shepherd Dogs. I think it is what the judge noticed by Beau Isabeau but he/she was wrong.
It has NOTHING to do with carring the tail
up simply because the GSD do not carry tails like this...
Also the picture with tail down is not exactly right because in this case it can apply also for happy dogs with the correct tails...
So what it is about...? "Curly" tail or "háček na ocase" is typical for long tails heritated from German Shepherd Dogs. Because the tail is too long (or "genes" think the tail is too long
) it is curly on the end WHEN the dog is CALM.
So here you have small Beau Isabeau with CORRECT tail:
and adult Beau Isabeau with CORRECT tail
How looks the "curly" tail or "háček na ocase"? Here you have the best example - CALM dogs with curly end of the tail:
In all other cases we can of course discuss how high the dog should carry the tails or how much sickle should be the sickle.... but it is just discussion and private point of view...
But the forum is as always open for all discussions...
