If leaving your babies tails intact is what makes you happy, and what you feel comfortable with, then that is the way to go. I don't understand or agree with it, but I would never think that doing something you aren't completely comfortable with would be the way to go either.  Generally speaking, I just think it's unfair to make such strong accusations against others who happen to feel differently. |
Honestly I wanted to dock my babies tails too until my vet made me realize what I would be doing to my babies, he changed my mind. And no I'm not saying your purposely mutilating your babies or whatever because I understand alot of you are trying to keep the standard according to YTCA or AKC but that is what my vet made me believe. What I am saying is why does a yorkie have to have a docked tail to be called a standard yorkie when they are born with tails??? So you don't cut your babies tail off now your baby doesn't qualify as a standard??? That in my eye's is not fair to the owners of yorkies who would like their babies to keep their tails. My babies without tails are AKC registered, and when they had babies I decided not to register with AKC when told I could not show my babies if I decided to keep their tails.
