AKC Standards for the Siberian Husky 

Tail

1990 1932 (slightly out of order to compare) Original
Tail

The well furred tail of fox-brush shape is set on just below the level of the topline, and is usually carried over the back in a graceful sickle curve when the dog is at attention. When carried up, the tail does not curl to either side of the body, nor does it snap flat against the back. A trailing tail is normal for the dog when in repose. Hair on the tail is of medium length and approximately the same length on top, sides and bottom, giving the appearance of a round brush. 

Faults-A snapped or tightly curled tail; highly plumed tail; tail set too low or too high.

Tail 

Long, and usually carried over back but sometimes dropped down, especially when tired.  Should be well protected with fur and hair, but bushy tails not desirable.
