I try to encourage her to hold it up and she can but apparently does not like to. I'm just wondering if this could be because the muscle was not pulled up or is it just because it's so much shorter? I think it wouldn't look so bad if she would carry it up..... |
Are the boys more dominant? Play with her alot, tug a war, etc. Try to work on her confidence level.
I have a Champion girl that never had her tail up, still doesn't unless she's outside running. But, absolutely adored me. She'd sit on her ring side table, with my mentor watching her. The whole time I was in the ring handling another dog, my mentor said she'd whine.....The minute I'd come out of the ring to get her, I'd put her on the floor and say Rosie, let's go play.....the tail would come up and she'd show her heart out. It was all about being with me.
