Many of the folks here who have posted pics with undocked tails show beautiful, full tails. I remember Huey's mother (silky) having an undocked tail, but it wasn't pretty. It had sparse, short hair and looked like a rat tail, so I was glad at the time that Huey was docked. Now, I wonder if his dad's yorkie genes would have produced a nice tail, but dad was docked and I have only seen a pic of him.

Daisy doesn't have a full tail like he does and I think she knows that she is missing a tail. I really do think she knows it. She mainly wags her tail when she is nervous. I always wondered if it is sensitive. She is adorable just the way she is but I wonder how she would be with her full tail. |
My parents have 2 King Charles Cavaliers and their red one got tail cancer at 5 years old. (I know...weird-Mom found a mass during a bath) He had to have his tail surgically removed, so he looks like he was docked. Their tricolor (Corky) still has a full, beautiful plumed tail (like Conan had) and I know that Conan misses it & looks at his "brother" with tail envy...
