I am curious why this would be as more dogs have tails than do not in the world. Why would Yorkie tails break more now than other breeds and can you send me in the direction where you got this information. This is very interesting.
While I understand not everyone agrees that a Biewer is a Yorkie I have never heard of a Biewer breaking its tail unless the owner closed a door on their tail but this could happen to any breed.
There have been articles in Whole Dog Journal stating it is hurting the overall health of a dog to dock their tails but their examples were with large dogs.
