Merlin - my cocker spaniel seems to wag his whole body cos he only has a little docked tail. Im not sure if I agree with docking tails or not but it was like that when we got him and it does mean no whipped legs.

Think all dogs seem to go crackers wagging their bums when they get excited - the only dog Ive known that didnt was a red lakeland terrier we had who had been brought up on an allotment as a working dog and didnt even know how to play when we got him. He was always very aloof with us and barely wagged his tail apart from when he was playing with the english springer spaniel we had at the same time. lol
