| Uppy or Downy I'm so observant. After several months of having two Yorkies, I noticed that Squirt's tail is down, i.e., if he even has one. I'm too squeamish to look. I don't ever recall seeing his tail. Gus' tail is up. Tail position is an indicator of self esteem. A down tail could be an indicator of low self esteem, or could it be due to a docking accident? Any thoughts on the latter possibility? Is your Yorkie and uppy or a downy?

| Teddi's tail is usually down when she is scared or feeling insecure or anxious. When she is out on a walk all happy-go-lucky or when she is playing around it stands up.

| milu's tail is very short, so if her fur gets long, it's hard to see her tail. unless she is wiggling it.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You right it does show their confidence level. I saw a show of The Dog Whisperer, and he was working with an extremely shy and unconfident dog, who would never raise his tail. Cesar made a little gadget that held the tail up when the dog went for walk; it was really amazing to watch the transformation using this and a few behavior techniques. After a while, the dog walked naturally with his tail up, in a new and confident manner, and quit cowering when he saw a stranger.

| Its illegal to dock tails here in the Uk, so Twinkle has a long one that is always up! The hair on it is quite long and she's always flapping it about like a flag xxx xxx
