Tail Docking? Yes. If they had a long tail, there would be more chance to step on it. Also, It is the breed standard, correct?
My Corso has had his ears trimmed and tail docked according to the breed standard, but in some countries they are prohibiting ears, so you now see some Corsi with long ears and tail. I like the Docked look. This was done because they are guardians in Southern Italy and often tangled with predetors, both human and animal and less to hold on to and get torn up. Then again, if you are not into showing, can you tell your breeder not to Dock the tail if you are on a waiting list? I doubt most breeders would, as the good ones breed to standard, and would want their pup to leave as standard.
My vote for the Yorkie is to dock the tail. |
