Base of tail if the flanks are pulled down to even with the base. On rats and coon they will be measured to the shortest part of the flank and if on side is shorter then the other they take the shortest measurement.

If you have good prime fur you can't over strech it. If its short fur nothing you can do will make it look longer. I have streched the snot out of good prime fur a get a select grade at NAFA
