Puppy Tail

My new pup has a tiny kink at the tip of his tail.
He's the pick puppy and it gives the ilusion that his tail is bent over the top towards his head.
It's a very small tweak.
Keep or place?

Re: Puppy Tail

I just placed a puppy that had a small kink towards the tip of his tail. I figured that I wasn't going to be able to show him like that and decided to let him go. I do not think that kinks are inherited, just malformations, so it should be OK to breed him.

Re: Puppy Tail

I had a boy with a "kink" at the end of his tail - it only got worst as he got older.

Re: Puppy Tail

It is hereditary and it gets bolder with age.
