Before :
Ears, Cut or uncut ; if cut, quite erect ; if not cut, to be small V-shaped and carried semi-erect, covered with short hair ; colour to be a deep, dark tan.



I would also like to add an article published on Yorky Club Magazine written by Hugo Ibanez-Hornung

A Tale of Tails

Yorky Club Magazine - United by passion for Yorkies.

Well, I'm glad they banned that.
