Why do tibetan terriers have curly tails?

Tibetan Terriers do not have curly tails. Their tails are typically plume-like and carried high and curved over their backs, giving the appearance of a "pom-pom" or a "flag." This tail carriage is a breed characteristic and is not considered a "curly" tail.

Here's a breakdown:

* Curly tail: A tail that is tightly curled or coiled.

* Plume-like tail: A tail that is covered in a bushy, flowing coat of hair.

* Curved tail: A tail that bends or curves upwards, usually towards the back.

Tibetan Terriers have a combination of a plume-like tail and a curved tail carriage. This unique feature contributes to their distinctive appearance and is often described as "cheerful" or "wagging."
