I think this is a perfectly legitimate poll topic and I don't see why anyone would take offense to it???

I do appreciate all of the replies and I don't expect to change any breeders' minds but just show them that SOME people may actually "PREFER" the long tail and they may think twice about putting a pet quality puppy through the unnecessary trauma, especially those who are underweight at birth or not thriving. I think most reputable breeders already do this but some of the newer breeders may even "start a trend".

If we ever develop a "Yorkie PET Standard" to compliment the "Yorkie Show Standard" I am sure it will include a full tail.
