Many dogs with curly tails look really cute. Curly-tailed dog breeds have a special way of melting people’s hearts. Ever wondered why some dogs have a curled tail while others don’t?
The dog’s tail is made up of small bones and is just a continuation of its spine. Some dogs like the pug have a tail shaped like a corkscrew because of wedge-shaped vertebrae at the base of their spine. This is known as hemivertebrae.
Breeds that evolved in cold climates like the Husky and Akita, usually have a sickle-shaped curl in their tails that is less severe in curvature.
Dogs with curly tails come in all kinds of colors and sizes. Let us look at some of the most adorable curly-tailed canines.
