Vets ask the breeder because they do not know the standard for each breed..plus, many breeders like a Yorkie tail a bit longer or shorter. I remove the last third, but have had pups born with very short tails or long one and had to adjust my third.
Haven't you seen Yorkies with a Rottie docking..no tail left at all..just a stub?
It is best if the vet asks to be safe..they can not put it back on. LOL
You have to ask questions, how can you learn? I learn stuff all the time from other breeders here. I have alot of experince and hands on learning, but do not always know technical terms to relay..Kimberly and a few others do this so well. I will talk to you as if you were sitting at my kitchen table, others are more like an instructor..both ways are needed and both ways work.
The only thing that does not work, is a person leaving or not posting when they have so much to add.
