I love Jackson's full tail and am sooo glad he has it. His tail tells me so much about how he's feeling. Tucked under his legs when he's really frightened, sticking straight up when he's in alert mode, wagging like a flag when he's extremely happy, etc. Dogs communicate thru their tails as well. I hope that it is banned someday in the US but I'm sure we'll be the last country to follow suit.

When I first got him, I didn't even realize people actually docked dogs tails. I didn't know much about the yorkie standard and thought it was normal he had a tail. I knew Rotties, etc didn't but I always thought they were born that way, LOL!
