Before this thread I seriously thought the Shepherd's Crook was a 
sharp bend or angle at the distal tip of the tail. < 3 of mine have 
this along with the tail curved at the wheel and in repose at the 
2/3rds mark. Then there is my baby boy who I swear has a spring 
loaded tail when on alert!>.  But when thinking about the curve of 
the tail when at the wheel it makes sense that this refers to and 
resembles a Shepherd's Crook. Oh, Jan thanks for the morning chuckle 
too <grin>.  For some fun reading check out this site:
