It is the same with Yorkies..if they carried them laid over their backs I doubt I would dock pets either...but I have seen dozens of Yorkies with tails hanging off their butts like a pump handle...
I realize I have a major hang-up about Yorkies with long tails...and not just pets...I do not think show Yorks look attractive with tails...
Yes, my Maltese had a beautiful, feathery tail that he carried over his back. I loved that too but it is a whole different look.

My Westie has a 'pump handle' hanging down - but again, it's a natural look to me since that's how I'm used to seeing Westies.

But, I'm used to seeing Yorkies with docked tails - so that's what looks good to me and I think it's so cute!
