| Just noticed that Brooklyn's tail doesn't wag Brooklyn is a bubbly, hyper, happy girl. But, I realized that her tail doesn't wag... at all. It makes me wonder if docking her tail- which I TOTALLY disagree with, regardless of what breed standard and show people say- has damaged a nerve or something. I did a search and saw that some people's yorkies started wagging their tail at a certain age. Hmmmm.... wonder if my baby's tail doesn't work. Anyway, just an observation. She doesn't seem to notice one way or the other.

| Aww, poor baby. I've never heard of such a thing. I know I've seen some dogs that have a really short docked tail, like basically no tail at all, that I personally can't really tell if it's wagging or not.

| Teddy doesn't wag his tail at us either... He only wags at strangers and other dogs.

| If it never wags at all, I'd wonder if it's the nerve leading to it. I had heard when vets do back surgery they can hit a nerve that could stop the wag.

| How old is Brooklyn, and how long has she been with you, I'm asking because Stellina's tail didn't wag for a while when we first took her home, can't remember how long before she started wagging it. You should see her today it looks like a feathery propellar lol |

| My Azrael will be 6 years on the 16th of this month and never once has she waged her tail, never! She can put it down or raise it up, but never a wag.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Thor only has a nub, so I grow the hair out as long as possible. I basically double the length. It was a nice surprise to see he does wag it, though not a ton. Also now that he can see it, he chases it.

| Too funny~Bogey has a tail but when he gets excited he wiggles his butt too. I always look at him and think how happy he must be to not just wag his tail but his whole body.
