How about longer than a nub tail?

My guys have tails a little longer than many I have seen online. Both of them were done at my vet by different doctors so must be the style around here.

Many vets don't get close enough because of lack of experience or knowledge of the breed standard. Most show breeders want tails docked as close as possible w/o having an indentation. Even pups born w/no tail, which are called natural bobs, if the bob is longer you would still dock it to more of the standard. The breed standard states no more then 2". Some band tails to dock which can get a closer docking and others cut.

My Lilo has a longer nub as well.... I almost passed up getting one from the breeder, as they were all docked (in my opinion) too long. Now I enjoy seeing her little nub wagging, it really adds to her personality, as it is dificult to see my other two wag their almost non existant nubs!
She is in the constant state of wagging it seems! :)

Hi My Abraham has a tail just like that. It looks like a paintbrush and when it wags (which is all the time) it is soooooooooooooooooo cute
