I am not trying to argue with you when it comes to the overpopulation problem or the fact that spay/neuter is the way to control it, I totally agree, don't get me wrong. I personally think Yorkies are gorgeous with or without the tails...who could argue with that. However, if you are trying to prevent "unwanted" dogs, and a docked tail is still standard...right or wrong as it may be...and people want a dog that meets standards...would leaving the tail therefor make the puppy less desireable? (By many, not all...not condoning or condeming, just creating a theory...)
Anyway...this is getting old...I don't disagree with the fact that it hurts for no reason. I was actually going to pay the extra to have our pups' tails numbed, but I did not end up making the trip with them...that was my co-breeder/father
