Re: [pyrnet] Shepherds crook

[mapleway@iolinc.net (McConnell, Chrissy)]

    I think this is probably from what the standard says, which is why I thought it meant just the end.  It states:  When present a "shepherd's crook" at the end of the tail accentuates the plume.  I also thought that the "off to one side" meant when making the wheel.  Would be a tad concerned that a tail that just twisted might have some spinal problem as tail shape often accompanies these afflictions in other breeds.
