Since this thread started with a question asking for advice, I will try to redirect this conversation in that direction as it has turned into yet another ugly debate over the ethics of tail docking.
Melanie-I commend you on your decision to go against the norm and do what YOU feel is in the best intrest of your babies...I believe that what is in the best interest of our Yorkies, regardless to the specific topic, is best decided with the final say being at the sole discretion of each individual owner, not a group as a whole that has gotten nowhere with an ongoing, never ending debate. Your babies are truly beautiful, as I am sure you already are aware. Tails or no tails, I think I speak for everyone here when I wish you the best of luck in the ring.
Again, this thread was started by someone looking for advice to aid her in making a decision. The original poster stated MANY posts ago that she has gathered enough information and has made her decision, therefor placing the topic of this thread (rather than the debate that has spawned) said an done. I feel further debate on the matter would only result in yet another locked thread and would not accomplish anything positive. |
