Propeller tail

[Melissa & Porter]

Does your doodle do the propeller tail wag?  I'm talking about a full circle wag...not the tick-tock motion. 

It's Porter's most happy tail expression, and I don't see a lot of other dogs or doodles do it.  I was wondering if it is specific to one of the breeds or just a personality quirk.

Chip DEFINITELY has a propeller tail. He is an Australian Labradoodle.

[Camilla and Darwin]

No, but I have seen dogs that do this and it's adorable! When Darwin gets really excited his whole butt wags. I think this is pretty common though. :-)

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Jackdoodle does the helicopter wag- we call it "Whirl-a-tail"- but only when he's super-mega-happy & excited. It's usually when my DD gets home from work or a business trip.

Hmmm, so far I am thinking the goldendoodles are more likely to wag their butts and the labradoodles are more likely to do the propeller thing.
Both actions are soooooo cute.

Peri wiggles her butt and has a 1/2 propeller tail. Basically swingin' the hips and wagging but not full circle!

[Susan and Sasha]

Allyson...I have to say...that I agree with you!!
I've been "watching" Sasha very carefully since this post...and...She wiggles her butt...BUT...with a Force that I cannot believe!!!!
About the 1/2 propeller tail...I Totally Agree...
Not Only Does Her Entire Butt Move...and I mean Move Majorly!! Lol..
But...it does seem to not just go back and forth...but...in a propeller motion...
Much more...a Wiggley Butt...but...there is a Propeller motion going on...(smile)
This is my Sasha...my GoldenDoodle...

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Wrong...my Gracie Doodle is a Goldendoodle and she has the propeller tail. It is amazing to watch because she has a gorgeous long plume tail that makes a huge circle. She also has the back and forth wag and then a very low wag.

[Melissa & Porter]

Yup, there are definitely some goldens in the mix of the propeller waggers.
Gracie's plume-swirl sounds lovely :-)

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

Penny has an amazing propeller tail. She does it mostly when I return from a business trip (she's so happy), or when she's dreaming. lol

[Melissa & Porter]

Porter will sometimes do the circle wag when lying on his back, but not sleeping...that must be neat.
When Porter does the on-back version of the propeller, it is kinda weird and hilarious. The tip of his tail points almost straight up and it looks like he is tracing a circle on the ceiling.

Our hound/lab mix Keegan did this all the time! There was no other way for him! LOL It was very endearing. Gaston-Cramer will do it on occasion and but not even a thought that Rosie will ! LOL She's a side-to-side at warp speed kind of girl! :)

Buddy will do the Propeller tail, I love it :) Kona only does the lab wag, mid height and side to side.
