Zoology
English term or phrase: well-plumed tail
the text is describing the dog and I'm not sure if it would be correct to translate

well-plumed tail for "una cola bien definida"

la frase dice así:
It has raised, pinted ears, (...) and a well-plumed tail curving forward over the back.

thanks a lot for your help in advance!

I failed to put the reference between inverted commas - leading to Luisa thinking that the rest of the quote was my suggestion for the translation of the rest of the sentence which you gave as context. Sorry about that.
