I think the solution is not to outlaw cropping all together but try to improve the standards in which it is done. For example, some countries have banned the practice except by a licensed veterinarian.
I have to admit, I was thrown off when you agreed with me. Hee.


Since this thread has come back to life, I'd like to add this point:

- Many exhibitors here say you should only buy a dog from someone who shows dogs.

- Tail docking must be done within a few days of birth.

- Show breeders can't tell for many months which puppies have show potential.


So, when you put this logic together, there actually isn't a choice on whether you can buy a US yorkie with an undocked tail.
