Default Decision on Docking Tail

Okay, I understand that the breed standard calls for me docking the tails of my yorkie pups when they are born. I am just finding it very hard to think about even doing. It just seems like aweful pain for nothing. I can see doing the dew claws as they can become painful if they catch on something and get yanked later in life.

With that long winded opener... my question is this... When I have my puppies... if my only plan is to give them to good homes as pets only... is there anything wrong with leaving their tail intact? Do you think some would turn their nose up at a yorkie with a tail?

Just thoughts at this point..
