There was an article posted in Yorkie Club Magazine (European based Magazine) about this problem....
I've also seen it myself, when a tail has been left undocked due to the puppies size being too small when docking time (3-5 days).....litter mates playing around too hard, breaking injuring the tail.
I'm not sure if this will have any affect on it detering the docking practice in the US, but it is something that breeder/exhibitors ponder over.....
