YT 500 Club Member | My Toby still has his tail. It has never been a problem. We forget he even has one. Yeah izzy has a much cuter bum from behind with her little stub, but so far as I've seen the tail hasn't made a bit of difference. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I have trouble with this particular article bc it's soooo politicized. To me, the cropping and tail amputation is *not* one bit about rights and politics...it's about doing the kindest, least invasive, least painful interventions that, in my opinion, are very largely unnecessary and at worst, rather cruel and barbaric.

| At the last YTCA Roving show in Louiville Ky this issue was discussed because American dogs cannot show successfully in Europe and European dogs do not do well with judges here in the states. I found it very interesting that the reason docking has been done away with in Europe is not because of the Yorkie/dog owners. It was totally a decision made by politicians that did not include dog owners as such. There's was a discussion about any solutions for the show people, but given the standards the judges must follow here and in Europe, it is currently a totally unreasolvable issue.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That's got to be one of the most slanted articles I've ever read. They are trying to convince people that docking is acceptable because we are Americans. I'm proud to be an American, but as new information comes along, I consider it. Why not just give us facts instead of trying to persuade us that Americans like freedom? They say that no wild dogs have dropped ears, well, no wild dogs have cropped ears either. Honestly, this sounds like it was written by one of the groups that does dog fighting, they don't like dropped ears because they can get bit off in the ring. (This happens with humans as well.) I personally would be very skeptical of anything I read from this site. I think breeders should start breeding for these things.

| I felt like I was being sold something by a pushy salesman while I was reading this. This is definitely not an article to be used to make an informed decision on this topic.
