It
I would say that it would basically depend on the dog and the situation. I don't think the tail is too thin, but is is smaller than many dogs that I have seen.
Probably makes a difference with the dog. I would say also that the start of the tail is probably much thicken than the end. My observation is the it narrows quite a bit in most Dobermans.I agree with the function of the tail just from watching my cat running - she uses it a lot and she is just a tiny 7 lb cat, so imagine what difference it would make for a big dog.
I have wondered if all Doberman tails are really so thin and delicate. My euro male has a thick nub and I noticed our local American Dobermans had thinner ones, but those tails were docked, so I could only judge based on the thickness of the nub. I think if Kaiser had a full tail, I would imagine it to be pretty sturdy. That said, for how much he smashes his nub into walls and doorways, would it be injury prone, who knows.
