Based on the data provided, tail length in dogs is best described as a **polygenic** trait.
Polygenic traits are controlled by multiple genes and typically show a continuous range of variation, as seen in the varying tail lengths. Other choices like codominant, Mendelian, or complete traits do not fit the variability and complexity seen in tail length.
