Sorry, forgot that there may be another standard in the USA.
But you can see the standard that countries outside of USA use on the website for
The FCI (
www.fci.be) (
The Yorkie is in group 3 there, Terriers)
The contry of origin for every breed can decide each breeds standard and the other countries must follow that standard.
I think that it is only the USA that has sometimes diffirent standard, but many times/some times it has the same standard as FCI.
But FCI recognises pedigrees from AKC.
Here you can see the quote from the Yorkie standard (outside usa):
Quote:
TAIL : Customarily docked.
Docked : Medium length with plenty of hair, darker blue in colour than rest of body, especially at end of tail. Carried a little higher than level of back.
Undocked : Plenty of hair, darker blue in colour than rest of body, especially at end of tail. Carried a little higher than level of back. As straight as possible. Length to give a well balanced appearance.

What does it say in the ACK standard for the Yorkie about the tail?
