Pugs have curly tails due to breeding.
A Pug's tail is set high, curled as tightly as possible, pinned to the back. Double scroll is more desirable among breeders.
The tail is the way dogs express themselves, much like a flag. With a pug, if he is asleep and relaxed, the tail becomes long and loose. If the pug is happy, excited, etc. the tail is curled up tight like a knot on top of its butt. When a pug wags its tail, it will usually be tightly curled and flutter like a butterfly wing. When the tail is loose and wagging, in a circular motion, it is a submissive wag which is quickly followed by the pug showing you his belly.

Asked in Pugs
When will a pugs tail be completely curled?
A curly tail has to do with their genes, not their age. If a dog
is going to have curly tail, it should be that way when they're
born. It works the same way with humans and their hair color, you
get you hair color from the genes passed on from you blood-related
family. Although most pugs have curly tails, not all pugs have
curly tails.

Do pugs have curly tails when born?
If you ever saw a fully grown pug or an eight week old pug puppy
you will notice that their tails are curled. But when a newborn
puppy puppy is born its tail won't be curled. And it's ears won't
be folded, either. Yet, that is a little weird but that's how
newborn pugs are. Anyway, who could imagine a pug without a curly
tail and unfolded ears? That is just weird! The reason why pugs are
born without curly tails and folded ears is because they are too
young. Their tails and their unfolded ears probably would curl and
fold up by the time the puppies are at least three weeks old.

Their tails are not curly but they do have the interesting habit
of spinning them like a propeller while they defecate underwater.
Presumably, this is a benefit to them and their habitat by
spreading the droppings more effectively.
