OP, it is my understanding that the yorkie tail was initially docked because it was helpful to their job. These little dogs were bred to catch rats. Without a long tail that could get caught on things, and it made it easier to pull them by the tail without hurting them. Now, how often are we going to pull our yorkies by the tail?
Not very often. But, Yorkies will soon be allowed to compete in Earth Dog events....back to what they were bred for.
