Lucy is our big (75-80 pound), mostly-Black Lab. She basically looks like a field Lab, is friendly to *ALL* people (babies on up), loves to swim, loves sticks, AND has an extremely strong ball-retrieving drive. Plus, she loves to dance. She's stocky, with crinkly ears (at least in part because of past ear infections), brown eyes, and a thick, bushy tail that she usually carries curled about 320 degrees, as in the photo below. Sometimes it's just barely curled, but it's rarely-to-never held completely straight (as with most Labs) unless she's in the process of tucking it under herself. The hair on her back is rather wavy (but not curly or wooly). Lucy is going grey under the muzzle, a little in her ears and on the bottoms of her feet, and a little around her belly. We thought she was all-Lab until her summer coat came in. Now we realize she must have some Rottie in her somewhere, as her summer coat is a bit brownish around the eyebrows, muzzle, and lower legs, and she's rather large. That might also explain the tail. Since she was a stray originally, we'll never know for sure. But look at this picture of Bennie, an undocked Rottie, for comparison, and please visit S.P.U.D., the Society for the Promotion of Undocked Dogs.

If you have URLs for any other photos of Rottweilers *with* tails, or of Labs with tails like Lucy's, please e-mail me the URL(s)! Thanks!
