I love watching my slight banana tail mom with her 1 year old daughter out in the play yard. Daughter has a perfect otter tail and many other things mom does not have. I am amazed what we've gotten rid of in one generation. Of course some of the issues will crop up in the next generation, so we'll be careful what to keep.

Also, mom's banana tail is not nearly as prominent or curved as it was when she was younger.

Grandmother has straight tail but carried gayly. Daughter's tail comes straight off the back but developed a banana tail (found out later on came from a dog on her sire's side) Grandson's tail comes straight off the back and no curve, yay. Tails can drive you nuts!
