I'm not sure I could have been quite so diplomatic as you....good job on that one!
I don't know much about it, but is it normal to dock a Yorkie? Louie's tail is VERY short (we call it his nubbin) and we don't know why because he's a rescue. The rescue we got him from said he was originally a puppy mill dog, so do they normally dock tails? It's much shorter than I would think they would dock. It's like an inch long, if that.
