Reply to ZooCVT's Post: IT IS CLOSE TO THE TIP. IT GOES ONE WAY ABOUT 90 DEGREES AND THEN BACK ABOUT 25 DEGREES. I DO NOT PLAN ON SHOWING HER, BUT I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO ALWAYS LAUGHING AT HER TAIL AND MAKING FUN OF IT.

Accepted Answer

  She can have surgery to repair it but it can be painful and not always successful. It would be completely a cosmetic thing and if you don't plan on showing her I would consider not putting her thru it. It will give her character and individuality!

IT IS CLOSE TO THE TIP. IT GOES ABOUT 90 DEGREES ONE WAY AND THEN ABOUT 25 DEGREES THE OTHER. SHE WAS THE LAST PUPPY BORN AND THE RUNT. I DON'T WANT TO SHOW HER, BUT I DON'T WANT HER TO LOOK FUNNY AND PEOPLE LAUGH AT HER ALL THE TIME.
