NOT silent dog

What makes it worse is that there are a lot of basenjis who's tails are curled at the end almost permanently, and it really hurts to try to straighten it.

Exactly right….. etzbseder..... you are totally right on with that statement

Yes! I was SO annoyed. I even said something about it to one of the cashiers on my way out.
You can see in this picture how curled his tail is. It's almost wrapped three times:
WHY would she do that?!?!

Some of mine have fused bones and if someone tried to make their tail truly straight, it would cause broken bones.
All of mine though are used to having their tails uncurled, I do it to all my puppies because I know that many people seem to have a compulsion about uncurling the tails. Nicky, will just drop his tail like he is saying "There, I broke your toy, now what?"

:D :D :D :D :D :D

I cannot believe someone actually pulled his tail. That is crazy! What ever happened to manners? Sheesh! She probably wouldn't like it too much if Shango has just walked up & bit her butt! Then you'd probably have a lawsuit actually :p
I never try to uncurl Dallas' tail as it is so tightly curled. He only uncurls it when he is really bothered by something.

Rude behavior…its everywhere.

I have a variety a tail curls in the house but even the dogs with the tightest curls learn to allow the tails to be uncurled. Even though it is incredibly rude behavior, many people will just uncurl tails. I started doing it because I was told judges will uncurl tails and you want them to be used to it. I have since learned that all sorts of people will do it and never think that it is rude or might be uncomfortable for the dog. The vet techs at the first vet office I used with Nicky used to do it all the time.
It really does seem to be a compulsion for some people, like they couldn't help themselves.

Jack doesn't mind most of his tail being uncurled, until you get to the very end. At the end, he has a little kink in it that won't uncurl.

No offense but I would of yanked that womans hair. What the heck was she thinking. :(
