I myself do prefer Yorkies to have a docked tail, but it doesn't make them any less cute without it done either. It's just a breed standard which makes them more easily recognizable as being Yorkie. However, I also believe that it should be done only when they are very, very young... To do it now would only inflict pain on her for no reason. She will still be a stunningly cute Yorkie girl regardless - and to do this at this age would just be torture for her. It would be like circumsizing a boy at 13, compared to when he was a baby. Try this comparison on your boyfriend, and maybe he'll understand.
