I know it's normal for a gsd's tail to curl a little bit, but is it alright when the tail curls a bit too much? Which is like a hook or a C letter at the end of it's tail. (Its at almost the end of the tail, not the whole tail.)  It's not a fault but it's not very nice because i will be showing her quite often. When she stand still or isnt on the move, her tail will relax and it wouldnt curl. But when she starts walking or trotting her tail curls to the extreme and it's actually very obvious. Is it because of the muscle of the tail is pulling? Any advice what is the cause of this? Is it alright in the show ring? Or is there anything i can do?

Really this is the kind of stuff you guys worry about?

A tail with a hook in it will be knocked in the showring

No Felloffher, this is not the kind of stuff I worry about, not sure about others and the only reason i will bring the matter up and share it on this forum, is just purely seeking for more information from others who have kept gsd's. I would just like to know from other people's point of view, or any advice. Nothing big to worry about actually because she's a gorgeous little girl and i wouldn't mind a bit to keep her with me as long as i could but as Peggy said if it'll be knocked out in the showring, then i wouldnt show her and neuter her to avoid more curled tail pups and just keep her as a house pet and look for another pup which i will be able to show, hopefully wont have the same problem.

It depends on just how much of a hook the tail has.

Can you post a picture please?
