Sanitary reasons YES--dogs with fur like Yorkies have their butt fur clipped really short so POOP doesnt stick to it.....I could only imagine what an unsanitary MESS a yorkie with a full tail, 2 inches of hair and an episode of diarrhea would cause. Your being 110% closed minded....
Yes-yorkies with full tails have injured them before as well. |
I'm 110% close minded? Ooohhkay.
I have a Yorkie with a full tail and poop has NEVER been an issue. Why? because I keep him clean and groomed. I live out in the country as well and he's always running thru the fields. His tail has never been an issue. Yes, because my yorkie has a full tail, he's an unsanitary mess every time he poops.
Talk about close-minded.
Regardless if there is a tail there or not, if there is 2 inches of hair around a Yorkie's butt, I think it's not gonna be a pretty sight!
And okay, some yorkies probably have injured their tails before. But none that I've ever read about or heard about. Yorkies also can injure their legs, so let's just chop it off?
