I don't know about the minority. Alot of Americans think tail docking is useless. I go to the dog park 1-3x a week and talk to dozens of people every week. 90% of the folks I talk to make a comment on Jackson's tail and how nice it is to see a full tail. Now, I don't think they're all just being nice or anything, they say it for a reason. Every person I know and/or met with a Yorkie wishes their Yorkie had a tail. And I'm talking to all different kinds of people, it's not only yorkie owners, or just other dog breed owners, or just age groups. I've had this convo multiple times with people aging from 23-60-something.

I'm not in any way saying Yorkies with docked tails aren't adorable. Of course it's cute to see their little nub wag.... but of course everyone has a preference. But most general public people don't know much about standard or care about it, sad as it is. But most just want a good pet and I think it's wonderful to see a full all natural tail waggin' on a dog! Just my opinion. I think America should follow England's lead on this one.
