Colorado Red Royal Standard Poodles

It was not so long ago, well at least it doesn't seem that long ago when poodles had short, "bobbed" tails.  Now days. poodles tend to have a mid-length tail... not too long (or people will mistake a purebred poodle as a LabraDoodle or GoldenDoodle)   Some breeders call the mid-length tail as a "show tail"  What length of tail is correct on a poodle?  It's what ever you like  :)  I prefer the mid-length tail.  Here are some photos:

Above, is a 'Long tail'.  It is a natural length and is not docked.

Above is a "mid-length tail".  About 1/3 of the tail is docked at a very young age.  (the puppy is usually about 2-3 days old)

I'll be adding a "short tail" photo soon.......
