Well with a reputable show breeder from the YTCA.org website you'd have a hard time finding a yorkie with a full tail due to the fact that we dock our yorkie tails at around 3 to 5 days because I personally am breeding for the betterment of the breed and my next show dog and since the standard calls for a docked tail and at 3 or 5 days old I can't make a decision as to which pup would be of pet quality so tails have to be docked because I won't dock a tail at a later date. So, unless someone is just breeding for pet quality pups you might find that breeder that will keep a tail but again it comes back to breeding to the best representation of the breed and keeping it too the breed standard and of course that calls for a docked tail. I'm just not into breeding for strictly pet yorkies for the pet population...not to say I won't have a pet quality in the litter but the tail will be docked...but I will guarantee a healthy pup with all the health testing available but again with a docked tail.
