Tail - windshot

Tail - the well furred tail of fox-brush shape is set on just below the level of the topline and usually carried over the back in a graceful sickle curve when the dog is at attention. When carried up the tail does not curl to either side of the body, nor does it snap against the back. A trailing tail is normal for the dog when working or in response. Hair on the tail is of medium length and approximately the same length on top, sides and bottom giving the appearance of a round brush.

Faults - a snapped or tightly curled tail; high plumed tail; tail set too low or too high.
