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.

 

Mauser is a long coat but he has a short tail.

 

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

They look like fluffy wolf tails.

 

Stark has a pretty long tail.. I love how bushy it is.

And his little itty bitty baby tail... *squeals*

 

:wub: omg! The first picture, he is so manly! What a handsome dog Stark is! I love the last one too! I love the itty bitty baby tails :wub:

And he does have a long, bushy tail as well!

 

Thanks.. He is a pretty neat dog. Big man head and all... LOL.

 

where are you starting your measurements? i did it from the bottom
of the croup (the last part of the back) and i got 20".

 

I measured from the bottom of the croup as well. I actually measured again got a longer measurement (23"). I measured all the way the end, including the hair.
I'll have to measure just to the bone and see where it ends up.

 

Did you guys measure just the bone or stretch the hair out as well?

 

I absolutely love this forum and our fascination with every detail about our GSDs :wub:

Funny this thread should pop up, as I just finished brushing Hans's beautiful tail and was thinking how good it is to be able to brush all that handsomeness on a daily basis! When he was little he would have none of it.

I just measured. 21 inches.
Does anyone know if it will grow more, or is this what it will be?

 

Here is berlins tail, Bear. I will try n measure it today because now I'm curious! I get comments on how long it is all the time.

Mine is 27.5 inches tall and her tail(yes I just measured) is 20 inches.

 

Casja's tail is pretty long. I haven't measured it,but it drags the ground when she walks.

 

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?

Not mine. Tasha wonders if your Shepherd would be willing to share. LOL

 

Bear would gladly spare his excess tail length for Tasha :wub:

 

Berlins tail is 21". He's seven months old, so I wonder if that thing isn't done growing!

Katie, I'm sure Berlin is still growing into and out his tail!
You'll have to measure when he's about a year and see how long it is then!
Enjoy the SuperBowl, even if the Bears aren't in it!

Oh my he does have a long tail !

 

And along with her big ears, we have the long tail.

 

It’s really weird to read a thread, startling to see your own reply, all of which you of don’t remember.
Also funny to roll your eyes at your own post 🤣

 

k

 

I've been told his tail is long so many times lol (sorry can't flip the video)
