If you have never seen one, I hope you get the chance very soon.
From the place where all Yorkies originated, SCOTLAND...here is how the happy Yorkies wag their tails and show off the lovely fall of hair.....not a very good pic, but a wee bit on view here with Tara who is nearly 7. Look what you are missing : |
Now I'm not picking on you, just speaking to your post. The difference in the 2 countries. In the UK the yorkies are shown with their tail down, supposedly to show a balanced yorkie....in the US the yorkies are shown with their tail higher than the back.....anywhere from 12 o'clock to about 2 o'clock....also for a balanced look, however the tail is docked.....both are done for the same reason, just differences.
Also, speaking to top breeders over there across the pond......they are not real happy about not being able to dock as they are having higher instances of the thinner yorkie tail being broken.
