| My male, Rocky, is 4 yrs old. His tail sticks straight back behind him most of the time. His sister, Jilly, has a curly tail, like a Maltese. It's cute the way it curls up over her back. That's all I know. Most yorkie's tails are docked here & you don't see many Yorkie's with tails.

| My yorkie has his tail, he wags it when he sees me, it's the best feeling in the world when I see his tail wagging. When he was born, they didn't think he was going to make it, so his tail wasn't docked. Once he was given a clean bill of health, I took him and let him keep his tail. His new playmates tail will be docked.

| My yorkie only has a nub, so I wouldn't know. I saw a yorkie in petsmart, though, and he had a curly little tail. He was so chubby too, so he looked like a little piggy. So cute |

| To my knowledge, tail docking is not illegal in Malta but during these last years the majority of Yorkies carry a full tail. There seem to be a concerted anti-docking campaign around the world to place pressure on governments to ban such practice. Here, tail docking is still being performed on hunting breeds. I have forwarded this question since I had a very hard desicion to make during these last days. I had a litter of six - 3 males and 3 females and badly wanted to keep a female puppy. The smallest female (very very small) had all the positive points of a great little Yorkie, except that (through my little experience) she was to carry a little curly tail. This could be noticed by week 6. My choice fell on the second best, still a nice little puppy but some gramms heavier. A week ago I sold the little puppy with the curly tail and I have had nightmares ever since and I cannot forgive myself JohnF |
