| My baby has no tail! I am new around here, but I do have a question. My new baby girl Delilah had her tail docked by her breeder at 4 days old. They took off pretty much the whole tail! Now she looks as if she doesn't even have a tail at all...I can feel what seems like a marble size tail and that's it. I love her no matter what, but I am bummed that I will never see her wag her tail. Anyone else have a similar situation??

| Oh, poor Delilah!! Did you ask your breeder about it? I think I would. Since she doesn't have much of a tail to wag, my hope for you is that you'll see her whole rear end waggin' at ya! Welcome to YT. We'd love to see pics of Delilah! She's beautiful with or without a tail.

| Don't worry...you just get to see her wag her whole butt instead! You are not the only one with a too short tail. |

| My parents have a yorkie whose tail was docked way too short. He just has a tiny nub..you can't even see it unless his hair has grown out on it some. Breeders and vets that don't know the standard tend to take the whole thing off...a yorkie's tail should be docked to medium length. You know, a little nub with shorter hair gives them this cute little "bear butt" though..it's pretty darn cute. I would let the breeder know though that the tail was docked too short so she won't do it again to future puppies

| Mindee just has a little stub for a tail but boy can she shake it. Her whole back end moves with it. It is so cute. It's way to short but suits her sassy little personality. |

| Thanks so much everyone! Glad to know my girl isn't the only one! It's funny, because we do call her "bear butt"! Too cute!

| How very sad, hopefully she will wag her whole butt. My yorkies have full tails, not docked at all. |
