In Germany we have it banned since 1998 and I know many yorkie breeders, most of them have no problems with broken tails. You normally only get a problem if the tail is thin. I have one yorkie with docked tail, she is 9 years old, all my other have long tails and I think they can express themthelves much better than the one with the short tail. I made the experience that if we meet an aggressive dog it always attacked my dog with docked tail, I think that is very strange.
What I think is silly is the fact that sometimes dogs with undocked tail are not able to win titles in countries where tails are not docked. |
