Yes, it is really "funny". I know many examples when dogs with great character get worser note because of the tail (best example was the "famous" judging by Mrs. Poduschka during the European Dog Show in Tulln
or the "very good" notes by Beau Issabeau
).
I know many disqualification by dogs which growled or were not calm enough. But STRONG character is not a fault by CzW. Maybe the owners should work more with the dogs but such dogs are still TYPICAL. :P
But on the same time I get really crazy when I see EXTREMLY shy dogs lying on the ground during judgement, which have the whole time the tail on the belly and are not able to stand properly even for a while. When I hear that the owners must gave their dogs calming drugs so the dogs are not scared and can be showed in the show ring. And how many of such dogs get worser notes during the judgement? How many of them get disqualification?
In the breed standard is written : SHYNESS is disqualification fault. So why so many "GREAT CHAMPIONS" are so shy? Why so many judges preffer UNTYPICAL Wolfdogs? It is really hard to read the breed standard before they start to judge a breed which they do not know? Expecially when we are talking about WORKING breed...

No - it this case it is really normal... When two males are walking one by one such tails are "a must"...
Such dog is saying:
Look how great I'm. How good I'm looking. I'm really proud I'm so nice looking... There is really nothing more piteous than a scared male showed in the champion class....
