I had thought about getting out my shield before I posted this, but not going to, because it is my opinion/feeling.
They are being shown in other countries un docked. And with that being said, I have nothing against it. I think the dogs are just as beautiful.
However, I am pro-dock. Some aren't, and that's ok. I like the fact that the breed is being kept the way it was intended back from our ancestors who developed and set the breed into play. I, personally do not feel that docking is a bad thing if done within the proper time slot after birth. I truly love the sillouette of a yorkie, for what it's breed standard here in the states calls for. There have been times in the past I was torn on this subject, but realized that I must stay true to my own feelings and am doing so. I prefer a docked tail to a medium length and would be upset if the mother club ever changed that part of the standard. Which I don't think they will.
Ok...not going to duck. And on a last note am going to say that I think ALL yorkies are beautiful...if I didn't, I have no business being a fancier of them.
