class=\"stk-highlight\">3 Common Poodle Tail Styles<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When discussing poodle tail styles, there are a few variations that you may see. Most of the differences in style will be seen in the overall coat style, but there are a few tail options to choose from as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#10145;&#65039; Natural style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first tail style that you may see is a natural style. <\/strong>This can involve either a long or docked tail, but the fur will flow freely throughout the length. Their tail may still be trimmed in effort to tame the fuzz, but no part of the tail will be shaved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#10145;&#65039; Puff style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The next tail style that you may see involves shaving the tail into some form of puff.<\/strong> Some poodle owners create a small puff at the tip of their tail, while others will make the entire tail into one uniform puff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#10145;&#65039; Shaved style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The last tail style that you may see in the poodle population is the shaved tail. <\/strong>These pups will have their tail shaved from base to tip, freeing them from the burden of maintaining the ever-growing tail fur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Standard_Poodle_Tails\"><\/span>Standard Poodle Tails<span

options to choose from, it&rsquo;s easy to lose sight of what a natural poodle tail looks like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A natural poodle tail is long, full of fur, and may even have a slight curl.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though many of us are used to seeing a trimmed and polished poodle tail, <strong>natural poodle tails can be a bit unruly.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The standard shape of a poodle&rsquo;s tail<\/strong> will vary from dog to dog, but each tail can be up to 10 inches long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see a tail that is only a few inches in length, this means that they had their tail cropped at some point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Poodles_Have_Long_Tails\"><\/span><span style=\"\"

think poodles are born with short tails, but this is likely down to how common tail docking is in this breed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But no, all poodles are born with tails that will grow fairly long if they are not docked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many breeders will dock their poodle&rsquo;s tails during their first week of life, often in effort to meet breed standards going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interesting read: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepuppymag.com\/poodle-life-expectancy\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13659\">Poodle lifespan: Facts, Figures &amp;

This is often due to the desire to meet breed standards in show, or simply to maintain a style that poodle lovers are used to seeing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a poodle does have their tail docked, the procedure is typically performed between 3 to 5 days of age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is performed during this timeframe due to some believing the nervous system is not developed enough to feel pain, though this has been debunked by many experts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tail docking procedure is performed without general anesthesia and is achieved by occluding a portion of the tail with surgical scissors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of this area not receiving adequate blood flow, the tip of the tail will typically fall off within a few days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned above, tail docking in poodles is generally performed for cosmetic purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though some insist that tail docking can prevent tail injuries and complications down the line, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/resources-tools\/avma-policies\/ear-cropping-and-tail-docking-dogs\">AVMA insists<\/a> that this is not the case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_All_Poodle_Breeders_Dock_Tails\"><\/span><span style=\"\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Do All Poodle Breeders Dock Tails?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With many pet owners becoming educated on the cons of tail docking in our furry friends, it is becoming easier and easier to find a poodle breeder that does not dock tails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple research can lead you in the right direction for the furry friend you are looking for, and into contact with a breeder that fits your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Should You Dock Your Poodle&rsquo;s Tail?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision to dock your poodle&rsquo;s tail is entirely up to you and the veterinary professional that works with your pup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We always suggest doing research <\/strong>on the topic and what the process entails, and further determining if tail docking fits your needs going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt, your veterinarian can answer any questions you may have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poodle_Tail_Lengths_For_Show\"><\/span><span style=\"\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Poodle Tail Lengths For Show<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like your future poodle to participate in shows, you will likely need to make sure your pup meets AKC guidelines.
