Many developmental issues are genetic. The way a dog develops and matures is genetic.

A high tail set is not a developmental issue, it's a structure issue. (From Debbie's critique sounds like a high tail set, not just carriage.)

And tail carraige is not usually just a deveopmental issue. I have a cardi with a correct tail set and she's doesn't carry it high. Didn't at the age of your boy either. Some of them will when very happy, but it's not always deveopmental.

I really do appreciate the discussion. My wife wrote in the annual holiday letter "...John and Will are taking obedience lessons, Will goes along to make sure John does it right..."
