Aw, poor little girl!! I bet her little butt wiggles instead. I agree what a dipstick!! I am glad you have her now and she is in a home where she is loved and spoiled.

Not all breeders dock the tails just to be cheap. I realize it was in your case though.

I dock all my puppies tails and remove the dewclaws myself. I had a horrible experience with my first litter watching the vet do it. I was so traumatized by it all that I decided there was no way I would ever let a vet do it again. Oh and a quick fyi, most vets will most likely dock the tail too short as they aren't taught breed standards. Some breeds require the tails to be docked shorter but the yorkie tail is suppose to be docked to medium length.
My two pups that I kept from my first litter would have just nubs if I hadn't stepped in and told them to leave more of the tail as the vet wanted to cut it much shorter.

I learned how to do the tails and dewclaws and my pups are so much better off because of it. I will say I dock them to the proper length, no nubs here. And there is no blood, no scarring and no trauma to the puppy.
