Then there is the yorkie that doesn't want to carry its tail up at all, it will be dragging that full tail along behind it like a kid pulling a sleigh.
I guess the outlying question is, if we left all tails undocked, say 10 yrs down the road, would that tail thicken up? It is not only a Yorkie question, but an all breed kind of question, where historically we have docked tails.
