A lot of breeders & vets tend to dock the tail too short on most of the yorkies I've seen as pets. So everyone is so used to seeing a shorter docked tail However, the show dogs I've seen really do have that medium-docked tail. It's possible hers is docked to the correct length but your friend just isn't used to seeing them that long. In any case, it's something she should have decided before she bought the puppy...and tail length on a pet puppy is no big deal. It can be redocked but I would never do that to an older puppy
