Thank you for correcting me. Where did you get your information from. I DO know that tail docking was illegal from 2007 but that was for other breeds such as the doberman. I can assure you that yorkies here have had their tails prior to 2007. Tail docking in the uk was banned for cosmetic purposes. If medical purposes mean a tail has to be docked then it will be.
