This is just one of those debates where everyone has their opinion on it, but it doesn't make one side right or wrong. JMO. I have been present and held puppies for the vet for tail dockings and I still prefer the look of a docked tail on the breeds that have them. The Schnauzer clip is part of what gives the Schnauzer it's "preferred" look. How do you get that look with a long tail? A friend of mine has a Minature Schnauzer with a long tail and she doesn't have her clipped. She says no one knows she's a Schnauzer. They think she's a mix breed. I think the Yorkie looks great with or without a long tail, but some breeds not so much and they kind of get mixed in with other breeds. Again, JMO.
