I would say I would prefer the docked tail. Although I have not had a pup any other way, but when I look for a puppy I am looking for the breed standard. (I plan to show my dogs)I would keep a yorkie with an undocked tail if it was one less expensive or 2 given to me as a pet. However I am not going to pay the kind of money I did for a dog that cannot quailfy for a championship. I do not believe that docking the tail is as bad as some say. I have dobermans as well and they to are docked, it is done so early and if you find a good vet or breeder that knows what they are doing it can not only be low pain, but blood free.
Just my 2 cents
