You must have a Wingold Yorkie. Tail or no tail, Tom's dogs are some of the most stunning I've ever seen!! I almost got my last Yorkie from him. I decided to go with another breeder who also keeps the tails of some of her pups, including mine...although I requested her tail be kept. Btw, I didn't find anything "wrong" with Tom. In fact, he is the perfect gentleman & incredibly smart. I just knew when I met my current breeder that she was "the one".

Maybe I'm an exception to the rule, but I picked my last puppy before she was born. I actually picked my breeder & waited for my preferred parents to breed. During that time, I developed a good relationship with my breeder & SHE was the one who actually picked my puppy. It couldn't have worked out better. In fact, Prima fits into our household PERFECTLY. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
