My Grandfather use to talk to me about flagtail walkers when we hunted together in my early childhood (70's). I never cared to ask what breeding the were from. Has anyone heard of these and have info?

You'll see a flag now and then in the Wild/Lone Pine strain.

I thought it was a brush at the top of the tail. Like a Setter Bird Dog!

The first thing I thought of was Bellar's Indiana Shep also. I think it was the German Shepard in him though that gave him the flag tail. Neat question.

my dog has a flag tail. Hes wipeout and stylish bred. He got it from his sire I beleive cause I talked to a guy that hunted with him and he said thats how he got his name "Wipeout Fuzzy" because of his fuzzy look and my dog kinda has that but he does have a flag tail.

Heavy hair and a flag tail was a trademark of Ganns Finisher.

these flag tail dogs were probably the result of "CROSSBREEDING"and they were WINNERS,,,,,,,,so that means that some of you are really hunting crossbred dogs and don`t know it........just some food for thought.?????
