which as in size? Gender? Everything???? lol! If I could get any other poodle, it'd be a slightly less nutty version of Paris, but still with her spunk... lol!

I would love an undocked one, as long as it had good carriage, I just hate the ones that curl over the back, or have a kink in it.

Luckily, where I plan to get my next standard from, Australia, it is illegal to dock tails, so hopefully they'll have gotten rid of those horrible tails by the time I get one

I would totally go natural again. I love Vinnie's tail - it is gay, but he does "uncurl" it when moving. I just love a natural tail - in photos, you can see how much they use their tail as a rudder for turning, stopping, etc...

My next spoo will be just like Mitch (I love you Matrix, but I like cream/white spoos more than black), so it will be docked. Matrix has a full tail, and I do love it, but if I'm going through one of the breeders I've been looking at, they dock their pups. I also want people to know just by looking that my spoo is a POODLE, not a DOODLE!!

When I get my next standard (which won't be for a while) it will be with docked tail. I love poodles in different colors, but have to see the eyes, so either light color to begin with like white, cream, apricot, or that will fade like a silver, cafe au lait or silver beige. Oh and how could I forget red!!!

I like docked tails, but only well docked tails. Desmond has this awful little bitty nub... guh. I'm not as fond of natural tails on poodles, though some dogs can look really good with them. The docked tail just kind of completes the picture of a poodle for me in many cases, ; natural tails are too long and just look odd to me, but some dogs do look good with the natural tail. Though I have nothing against them, I wouldn't seek one out anyway.

I like Captain's little pommed tail, it's just perfect actually. But, I would love a natural tail. Captain's grandsire has a natural tail that is lovely, so I'm curious if his would have been left natural if it would be similar.

I still like the look of a SLIGHTLY docked tail. A full/natural tail just hasn't grown on me (yet). I think it'll take time for the public to accept a full tail.

I'm starting to like the look of an undocked tail, as long as it doesn't curl over.
