I can only speak for myself but I certainly will only purchase a yorkie that is bred to AKC standard. That means tails docked.
I know lots of people don't care about breed standard, the op is purchasing a dog that isn't registered, which is fine. In that case you cannot expect the dog to be breed standard so I guess tail docking wouldn't apply. As a disclaimer, yes, I do know many dogs ARE registered and are nothing close to standard, and I do know the opposite can apply as well.
As far as docking goes, as long as it's AKC standard, it will be done, and should be. |
