The Standard states, "Docked to a medium length and carried slightly higher than the level of the back" .. interpretation, I guess is up to the individual doing the docking. The tail carriage is important for the look of the Yorkie and is usually longer in the Show ring, and seems to be getting longer... but little tail is better than no tail.
