I think the little dogs look cute with fluffy tail, but I don't show dogs or a breeder, and when they are so little 3 and 4 lbs to me they are cute. But
if that is what my mom wants i will do it, she was also heart broken when we lost our silver yorkie he had a small tail.

The tails need be docked when they are between 3-5 day's old. After that it is considered an amputation and yes it will hurt.
