Thank you for posting that article.
I am not an advocate of docking or cropping and glad both practices are now banned here. However, I do wish the Kennel Club would catch up and prohibit the showing of such dogs: Docked tails are still permissable according to the Yorkie standard.

Tail
Previously 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.

Hhmmm - still sitting on the fence I see. But maybe they are waiting until all the docked ones have done with showing.
