| Tail's length? I was just curious as to how long everybodys yorkie tails are? I think Peanut's is 2.5 inches. Hmm, i wonder how long a yorkies tail would be if it hadn't been docked? Peggy |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | For some reason, my guys have just a nub, maybe an inch. I've read that a Yorkie's tail is supposed to be docked in half. I've seen pictures of undocked Yorkies, and their tails look to be at least 6 inches.

| Gypsy's is just over 2 1/2 in. but I'm not sure exactly what they're supposed to be. She got her Championship though so her's must be OK.

| Chattie has only a nub! Chizzie, Peppy, Izzabella, and Howard all have "show" length tails. With Izzabella and Howard, the vet took off the 1/3 of the tail or was it that she left 1/3? Anyway I am very happy, Dr. Amy did a FANTASTIC job! |

| Sissy's tail is about 2", but it looks longer than that because the hair on the tip is longer and she kind-of holds it upright, so it looks longer. This photo is on the dark side, but if you look, you'll see what I mean about how she holds her tail.

| Snicker's is about 2 inches, but it looks a little longer because of how his hair sticks up. Maybe I'm dumb.....but why do many breeds get their tails docked anyway?? Just wondering. |

| Here is a full tail. It is a little longer cos it is curved around. Excuse the scruffiness! |

| Piper being a Morkie we didn't get her tail docked. It looks more like a maltese tail with less hair |

| Thankyou we think Piper is cute also. Be very careful as with all breeders. We have had a lot of health problems with Piper, but my husband wanted a Morkie. Misha our Maltese, no problems at all. Fantastic breeder. |

| Brody's is long enough to see it wag and that is all I care about. It is about 1-1.5" for his little body. |
