Attitudes of Tail

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Fred and Mike.
Very few dogs in that thread are holding their tails in what I would consider a "distinctly elevated" position. I'll dismiss the springers in Robin's contribution because they are not on point but are doing what springers were trained to do back then which is to flush or 'spring' the birds. The setter on the Remington CHE Russ shows is, as I expected of some Remington era Parkers, holding its tail in a distinctly elevated position as are the dogs on that nice Model 21, which is also a later gun. A few others are but less than 2% of all shown are.
