BUT I was really surprise when my little shy puppy showed her attitude and up up and over went the tail the happier she got. Almost can touch her back when she is sporting her favorite toys! I never thought I'd have to calm my Yorkie down to get a nice profile 
So, I don't think I'll give her away to any of you, sorry...because my husband and children have fallen in love. Has anyone ever heard of re-docking the tail? Please don't let me scare you! I am not serious about it. But, I'd heard that it is very painful at this age.
Also, I watched a dog show in Moscow on U tube and noticed almost all the Yorkies there have maltese tails, and s**tzu tails...just like I fear my little Daisy will have. Check it out. the style is very interesting there. YouTube - CACIB Moscow YORKSHIRE TERRIER RUSSIA-2007 29.09.07
One more thing. I hear the Yorkies now are much more leggy than they used to be. REALLY LEGGY. I have the smaller compact package which I also fear will make me a big looser unless the "trend" changes again. Does anyone have a list of judges that likes "compact"?
Personally I like the compact body as the standard says, so that is why I chose her 'type'.

My Oscar is very European style.(up on leg and a gay tail) I have stopped showing him as he is very light in color. I will get him out there in, HMMM, 3 years!!LOL
He is a stunning dog and has the best gait and perfect knees and wonderful silk over a dead level top-line.
So, by comparing your puppies gay tail to Oscars, you have nothing to worry about!!! I would not hesitate to start showing again. Your puppy is very nice.
