Okay, I HAD to measure Li'l Girl's tail. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bounce.gif She wasn't crazy about that. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/biggrin.gif She fell far short of Sadie, since her tail measured 10" from root to tip. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sign20.gif

It is a breed standard defect for a beagle to have a long tail. My Kioko's tail, though not a long one, is also a "defect" tail because it's too curved back over her body. But...I think she's gorgeous just as is. I didn't want a show beagle...I just wanted a beagle. Kioko is our gorgeous girl, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Glover wont stay still long enough for me to measure his tail!!! little bugger!

lol

but I noticed your dogs tail is much thicker than Glovers?? is that because he is only 5 months?

i'll have to check homers later.i'm sure it's defect like the rest of him is....lol.he seems to be a bit longer,his legs are short and stubby with knobby knees,his nose seems longer than normal but he's perfect to me /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/doh00000.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/soapbox.gif

Just measured my darlings tails. Rosa's is 10 inches and Sherry's is 11

When ever we show our beagles over here we just tidy the stray hairs on their tails so that thet have a nice uniform point at the end. British beagle showers do not tend to round off the tails as they seem to do in America.

We do not trim the neck or the ear fur either, again this seems to be a requirement to showing in America.

When I take puppies in to the vet to get dew claws removed, he always teases me about "docking" the ears and tail at the same time /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/greendevil.gif Silly Dr. Randy! Since my beagles are all different sizes, different coloring, different tails! They all have fairly long tails (but most are lethal if they hit you) - but what varies with mine is the "handle" (the white tip) - some are almost as long as the tail and some are just "tips".

Chloe's 2/3 red, 1/3 white. My Chloe is a slim figured beagle, and her tail is not as thick as other beagle tails I've seen. I'll have to take a picture of it today....

 

[Murphys Dad]

Okay, I was wrong. Chloe's tail is "shortie" (like her... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol2.gif):

 

[Murphys Dad]

For some reason, I find this thread one of the more amusing we've done. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/greendevil.gif

 

[Murphys Dad]

Next: who's ears are the longest... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/tired.gif

 

[BeagleBabe]

I agree Sandy!
Hummmm...not Abby's, her's are kind of shorter...will have to measure them tomorrow /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/tired.gif

 

[Murphys Dad]

Ears to you! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/coffee.gif Li'l Girl's come in at 5-3/4". /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/PuppyEyes.gif

 

[Murphys Dad]

Chloe: 5.5".

 

[Murphys Dad]

Jersey's tail is exactly 12 inches long. It curves like a teapot handle over her back and is way out of standard. Her ears are somewhere between 5 and 5.5 inches. Jersey wasn't too keen on letting me measure them so it was hard to get an accurate number. Apparently I can add rulers to the list of things that scare her. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/animal18.gif

 

[BeagleBabe]

Abby's are somewhere between 5&6".

 

[Murphys Dad]

Ha, we've completely gone crazy.... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/greendevil.gif

 

[BeagleBabe]

At least we're in great company!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

And happy! Don't forget happy! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smokin.gif

At least that's what I always tell people at work when they laugh at me over the latest thing I've done with/for Jersey. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol2.gif
