I was really happy though, it was only $46 to have 2 dogs groomed.. sorry you had a bad experience..there are good ones out there, just have to find them..
If a yorkie has a long coat, then no the tail should not be cut at all. Nothing should be cut at all except the ears being tipped, paws trimmed, and sanitary areas trimmed. Nothing else should be trimmed unless the owner says too. Honestly, the groomer should specifically ask the owner if the want the ears tipped or not, whether or not they want the hair trimmed between the eyes, whether or not they want the dog to have bangs or a visor, and if they want the hair tied up in a topknot or left down.

On puppy cuts, I've always seen the tail hair left the same length as the body hair. So if the body hair is an inch long, so is the hair on the tail. I have seen a couple dogs get a puppycut and their owner wanted the tail left long (I guess similar to the typical shih tzu cut).
