Docking and cropping is a hot topic all over North America. As a breeder of a docked breed (not Yorkies), I would like to take into account a purchaser's wish to not dock, but as I do it at 3 days old, it is impossible to know what dogs I think are show worthy, and which are not, I can't know this for our breed until at least 8wks old,

But as I said, things are changing, North America is feeling the pressure from Europe on the docking and cropping. If I have an excellent example of my breed, if I dock the tail, I can't show in Europe and secure International Titles on my dogs. It is a sobering reality.

Personally for me I love Yorkies with a long tail or a cropped one, no particular preference for me. With my breed I absolutely love the docked tail.
