    Rottweilers with natural tails usually carry them curled over their back (when alert).
    I've been BOO'd!

    I didn't know that! Every one I've ever seen has a docked tail. (Also, it is a little misleading that a husky has a curly tail- that's actually considered a breed fault in siberians. The tail arcs in a cresent shape, but shouldn't curl tight.)

    Rott-en is more like it! She is so bad, chasing after kitties and squirrels and whatnot. "Hey, it's MY yard."

    This page has several pictures of dogs with natural tails. http://www.anti-dockingalliance.co.uk/page_5.htm
    Rotties with tails are actually quite common because there are so many rotties unintentionally bred by people who don't know when to get the tails done or don't care to bring the dogs to a vet ever.
    "There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion."

    Well, I'll be! I will just have to tell her that. Also, I'll have to remember to tell Trix that she's smelly and will be getting a bath soon. She does not like that.

    Ah, I figured that it was pretty much a fault. It's just a silly joke that we like to play around with!

    wow, really? That's so neat! I had one Rottie before but she was given to us and had a docked tail. I've never seen a Rottie that had a natural tail besides Trix! I almost thought it was her GS blood! :P

    Rottie/Saluki mix? The tail looks like a salukis to me. Sorry, but it really does.

    Sorry, for what? :P Nope, she is a Rottie-German Shepherd mix. We just couldn't figure out what the deal was with her tail.

    I love Salukis.
