go swim the crap out of a dog, put it back in the kennel wet without time to dry off and get blood flow back into the muscles....
It can happen to dogs on land just as well- not due to tail "confirmation" but, the "conformation" (structure of the animal). For this reason, the DVM alluded to his EP's tail set which, as many, are unnatural yet, desirable in pointer circles. The "high cracked tail" in an EP can also be a factor for that specific breed.
As I've said before, the "information" passed around on this dog section of hunt-wa is so far "fetched" sometimes it's hard to read. Especially, when it comes to backyard breeding and lack of "give a chit" on animal health and breeding.
Happy,
Your definition of backyard breeding might be interesting. I'd like to hear it.
