Okay my boyfriend is really bothered by this. We have done some research but still aren't sure what the answer might be. Maybe you fellow bully friends can help. We are wondering if there is a particular type of "way" a English bully's tail should look? I know it's supposed to be short. But my boyfriend thinks that Tank's tail isn't right because it goes to the side... here is a picture of Tanks behind (ignore the sunglasses, my boyfriend thought it'd be funny to make it look like his behind was a face! :laugh:)

Bully tails come in all sizes, and curl, pigtail, corkscrew, and even long tails. They can easily point in one direction.

There is a standard for the bully tail, however. But this is only if you plan on showing.

Let me see if I can find the link.

Moe's is curly and stands up... not within standards, but I don't care because I'm not showing him. I actually consider his tail an upgrade since I don't have to worry about a pocket getting infected.

Vegas has about an inch of a flap tail, I love it! Barely has a tail pocket. Much easier to keep clean.

I love waking up to Bully Behinds! seriously, sooooo cute!

Both of mine have the tight cinnamon bun-like tails (corkscrew-ish), and i have to really dig in there to clean them.

Your bf has a sense of humor w/those sunglasses! :yes:

Bella has a corkscrew with a good size pocket that needs to be cleaned daily.

The sunglasses were sweet!

This is hysterical... everytime I think we can't go deeper in the obsession world, we surprise me.

Nitschke is wavy and points straight down.. little cleaning i needed. banks, in line with er high maintenance personality, has a tight corkscrew and points to the right.

both Sebastian and Oliver have the corkscrew like BabyGirl and some of the others. Fortunately, I don't have to clean their tail pocket very often. I check it occassionally and just use a quick wipe when checking.
