Here's another good read
Letter to the AVMA re: Docking: Breed Information: Kerry Health: United States Kerry Blue Terrier Club If yorkie tail cutting is a preventative measure that is known to avert a
large number of commonplace breakages which otherwise inevitably result from either rathole work or falling off the couch then I fully retract whatever I said about it being
mean.
But it still looks like less than ideal breeding, and interpret that a good tail enhances a dog's life. I'm sure Frisco could care less, he-who-has-more-pressing-problems.
