I am going to say something, I said before, but worth saying again. If you don't like the breed standard, and want to make a difference then join your YT breed club. Then you become eligible to vote and to partake of standard discussions!


But that is not the only reason, as a fancier of the breed, you should join your YT Club, and here it is, bold and simple, we need your support and your $$.


Breed clubs often support and fund research, in fact we are often the instigators and agitators for that self same research.


If you don't or can't join, try to stay current with what your local breed club is doing. Support their fundraisers, contribute DNA samples, buccal swabs etc, as the YT breeders try their best to eliminate many of the health concerns of Yorkies.


To dock a tail or not, pales beside the significance of the health concerns of Yorkies. None of which originates from a docked tail.


Linking the docking of a tail, to a human appendectomy, or to amputation of a human leg, or to removal of a spleen is such a specious argument. They quite simply do not compare.


If only such passion could be focussed on funding and finding and supporting health research into Yorkies!!!!!
