Sorry to those of you used to this practice...but I find it absolutely disgusting. Over here it is against the law to dock tails....since the last 8 years...there is just no need for it, and all my four Yorkies have their tails...which wagg and look beautiful with hair flowing ! They never get injured and they have no reason to ever come off in that case.
If something happens to a tail...like in a cat...you obviously have to think about what is better for the dog...but to un-necessarily remove a tail just sickens me....same goes for dew claws ! (dog's "thumbs!")
So all you breeders who I have talked to and who have given me fab advice and who also dock tails....I still like you all ha ha...and in time you will see how nice the tails are...showing or not....once it becomes common-place to leave them poor tails alone !!!
When I bought my first 8 years ago...the law was just coming in, and it's the first thing I asked.....did my baby have her tail ? I am glad to say she did and still does.
Keep them tails a wagging
