| They don't have to be docked. How old are they? I'm sure there is a vet somewhere around there that would dock them if they are the right age.

| How old are they? Perhaps they are too old? They are typically docked at 3-5 days old..... |

| I love the look of a full tail. Why do they need to be docked? Are you planning on showing your pups?

| A day and a half and no vets will dock the tail? That's strange. If they aren't going to be shown they don't need to be docked anyway. Full tails are so cute.

| One day old? Did you try making an appt for 3-5 days old? You don't have to have them docked if you don't want to. You'd be going against AKC standard though. There are people who like the long tail or don't care either way and so you probably wouldn't have a huge issue selling them. Some of us wiill only buy Yorkies with docked tails unless rescuing though (me included).
