Tail up - Head down

The dog moves with tail held high with either both the base and the tip of the tail raised, or with the base of the tail held horizontally, the tip raised and head held low. The posture is ambivalent.

This male Golden Retriever is moving with tail up and head down, with piloerection extending from neck to tail. In approaching the Pit Bull bitch, he is moving at a trot and lowers, then raises, his head repeatedly. When the female charges toward him, the Golden Retriever swerves, then stops at a distance in a frontal stance, standing tall and stiffly.
