I've got mixed feelings on tail docking since one of YorkieTalk's UK members linked some pictures of back-yard breeder's tail docking results. It's a relatively simple procedure, however, some knowledge is needed to be done correctly. It's so sad that people don't realize breeding is more than putting two dogs together. After man domesticates an animal, it needs human intervention in order to survived properly.
Many things goes into someone being called a back yard breeder, but some people believe that not breeding to standard and not following the guidelines set forth by the YTCA qualities someone for that name. |
