Hi, I'm a retired Veterinary Technician of some 40 years. I recently purchased a Dachsund puppy, 8 weeks old. He is a mini, Dappled Silver, and Black with brown leggings and tummy. He is lovely and meets the standards for his breed except, he has a knot at the end of his tail. It is as though someone tied a knot in order to pull him out of a hole! I purchase him to save him because most people did not like the defect. His tail is not hindered in any way except appearance. I may have it x-rayed out of curiosity.
Has anyone seen this defect before? I am guessing crowding inutero from a large litter caused the kink. ANY THOUGHTS?
