It is amazing how some people feel their opinion just needs to be heard no matter the consequence. My 2 have docked tails, I was told it was done when they were just a few days old, but I personally have "Tail Envy". I love Yorkies with full tails but I don't love mine any less for being docked.
I read somewhere that back in their ratter days the tails would sometimes get caught in the machinery of the shop where they were to be catching rats and so that is why they started docking the tails. It was actually for the safety of the dogs and now has become the breed standard as mentioned before.
I have had people ask rude questions many times and I usually just shake my head and carry on. Tail or no tail I love all Yorkies!!! |
