[quote=lizziepooh_1;1059431]I believe that the original reason for docking the tails of some dogs had to do with the nature of the "job" they were given. I would imagine that in the case of a yorkie who would go into small places to chase out and kill rats, and long feathery tail might be a problem. Some countries are banning the docking of tails (England and New Zealand I think) because since the dogs are no longer used for their "jobs" the docking is now deemed unnecessary, and in the opinion of some...cruel.
I personally would prefer a yorkie who was as close to the standard as possible...
