Default My what a long tail you have!

Bear's tail has always been really long. If I measured correctly it was 22 inches long.
Does anyone else have a GSD with a really long tail?

Gus's tail drags the ground when he's standing. He's got a very long tail. Lol. And last time I measured him I think he was 27" tall. I thought it was just normal?

Gus and Bear are about the same height! Most of the GSD's I've ever seen have not had a tail as long as Bear's.
I know it's not unusual, but was curious how many others have GSD's with really long tails

Hondo's tail is very long and he is a long haired GSD. So that means he's either clearing off my coffee table, or he's dragging in all of the fallen leaves from outside.

Is this a long coat thing? Do long coats typically have really long tails? My last GSD was a stock coat and her tail was nowhere near as long as Bear's.

I dunno. I just think because Hondo's hair is longer it makes his tail look even longer than it might truly be. When at rest, it does touch the ground. When excited and he curls it up, it looks like a fan. Maybe he's got peacock in him somewhere.

Bears long lost twin, Berlin, also has a long tail. Go figure

They look like fluffy wolf tails.
