We bought our pom from a pet store about 5 1/2 years ago and when we bought him, we noticed that the tip of his tail was bent in a 90 degree angle. I was wondering if this could have been done to make his tale curl over his back. It makes me sad to think that someone could have done that. Then I wonder if my pom came from a puppy mill. I was clueless about puppy mills until recently.
I was just curious. Thanks.

I know poms have tails that curl over their backs. I've been around poms all of my life. My mom has had poms for a long time. It's just that my pom just has a bend at the tip of his tail that shouldn't be there. Thanks everyone who gave me a nice and courteous answer. Taylor Grams and Getemgang, you shouldn't even be allowed to use this site. Grow up.

Pomeranians tails naturally curl over their backs in very tight circles. It's possible that your pup's tail was broken at one time or maybe got stuck in something like between a door & doorjam. He could have just been born with the crook in his tail. There really isn't any way too find out how it happened, so just love him how he is.
*BTW* I own an 11 month old pom. Aren't they just the greatest little dogs???

I have a pom mix. your pom probubly was just born that way. So, you don't have to fell bad for her/him. And I don't think your pom came from a puppy mill or he/she would have more problems then just a bent tail.

My pom's tail can always curl over her back, and her head can turn almost 180 degree.

I have a pomeranian and her tale was always curved the same as your poms. That is natural for a pom.

Maybe its tail got broke. I heard of people breaking cats tails it could of got broken at early age and healed wrong. I have Cat that cant meow the Doctor says the he can find anything wrong with it. so i think a little kid got ahold of it at the pet store and you know how little kids always hold a pet by the neck. so something like that could of happend at the pet store.

if you just got Brandy, Sophie just has her nore out of joint, she is jealous of the newbie on the scene. Also she remembers the surgery and ,may be afraid something like that will happen again. Try giving her some of her favorite treats, even if it is human food. See if she will come to you for that. Just have patience and give her time, she will soon be back to her old self.

It really does sound like his tail was broken at some point. Poor little guy.
