Tail type?

Ever since we adopted Ethan we like to play around with what breeds could be in him. It truly doesn't matter what breeds he is, but its fun playing around with the different ideas. I hadn't noticed until now that we never truly took his tail into consideration. To my knowledge it isn't docked at all, but it is around 3/4 the length of a typical tail. The hair is pretty thick on it compared to the rest of his body and he carries it like shown in these pictures...

I feel like it should be a very obvious breed, but nothing is coming to mind.
Any ideas?


Haha, holiday break leaves me with far too much time on my hands. I could be way more productive than just thinking about dog tails. :D

with a bit more lenght and fluff..I´d say shepherd.. but..not sure hehe.. maybe lab.. but they carry it higher I think

he kinda looks like a shepard mix....his tail to me looks like he has husky in him...he is adorable tho

Yeah I kinda see Lab too.... and yes Labrador tails should follow the back line and be very thick. Not long and thin like Sadie and Rita, LOL!

Looks like his tail was partially docked???

looks lab and terrier maybe pit bull and it seems to have a dark ridge which could mean Rhodesian ridge back not sure need better pics
