So many of your answers to me are sarcastic, or you will say things like, "duh". You accused me of trying to discredit you after that question, yet I feel like that's what you are trying to do to me time and time again.
Also, you are wrong about my dislike for long tails, I didn't like a docked tail until I saw enough pictures on Yorkietalk, now I think both are fine, but this isn't about beauty for me. I've had dogs from the pound most of my life and they all had long tails. I just think a breeder should follow standard that is my opinion, but if your heart tells you something else, then you should follow your heart, and there will be people who think you are wrong or won't allow you into their club, but if you have made the choice for the right reasons, those things won't bother you.
Mike, thanks for the video, those dogs are gorgeous so are their tails, if the issue were based entirely on cosmetics or beauty, my personal bias is for an undocked tail after see that video! |
Please, Nancy, can we just let it go? We've disagreed on lots of things on this board going back many years. I'm sure there were times I was wrong. I've tried to grow and learn here. Surely there must have been times you were wrong as well. This latest clash is just your passion to defend an old standard, and mine to think ahead to a time the change will likely be forced on us by law.
I'm sincerely happy you found the Yorkies in Mike's videos beautiful. I know some hard core traditionalists who would be too distracted by the tails to see how pretty the dogs are.
Mike, the videos are stunning. I also enjoyed the literature you and many others posted on the tail docking thread.
Happy Halloween everyone!
