If you wonder what a full Yorkie tail looks like you can see Jenny on YouTube in several videos, particularly "Jenny and the biscuit 3" . I keep her coat medium short and her tail hair is about 4". Her tail has a most attractive curve and is much admired.
That standard in the UK and Europe is for an undocked tail.

However, in the US it still calls for Tail Docked to medium length and carried slightly higher than the level of the back.

I as most exhibitors in the US prefer the docked tail. And we will set our standard and not have others countries dicate to us what it should be.
