Rory has a natural tail and it’s been shaved a few times. His tail is not particularly curled though - with docking illegal for many years here, natural tails are generally straighter than places that still dock.
German Clip with Natural Tail
Hello,
My red Standard has a German Clip with a sweetheartface beard/mustache.
He is going to his groomer at the end of the month and I’m going to have her change things up and do a fully clean face this time.
I have never really been sure what to do with his tail, which his breeder left natural. I had it shaved at the base with a feathered plume the rest of the length of the tail (his tail is closer to loose waves than curly, which I find isn’t an uncommon trait with reds). My husband hated the base shaved, so we started growing it out a while back.
I have always been scared his tale would look silly shaved like you would normally see with a German Clip because it was left natural. And since he had the beard/mustache, the longer length on the tail actually balanced his look out.
However, since we’re going with a clean face, I think for it to look balanced, we should probably shave the tail as well. Do you think it will look silly with his long natural tail?
