Hello Shae's Mama,

As I understand, the best breed standard for a Boston is to have a natural stub of a tail - not docked. Our guy's tail is about 2 inches (longer than standard) and kinks in the middle. Perhaps some could say it looks previously broken, but it's not, only quirky! Also, I have yet to see a pure Boston with a coiled tale. If you're unsure about typical characteristics, check out the American Kennel Club web site for breed standards. Personally, I would appreciate her unique tail and not get anything cut off. Congratulations on your new pup!
