I have read all the posts about tail docking. I just found out that the little girl I have placed a deposit on is undocked.
At first, I was a little upset since I've already become attached to her through emails. After reading a lot of posts I think it won't really matter and I know if I was a breeder I wouldn't want to have it done (but wanted someone else to do the "dirty work" for me). Both of my Yorkies were docked and I liked the way it looked. Has anyone had a Yorkie's tail docked later in life. She's only expected to get in the two pound range so I'm sure anethesia would have to wait until she was spayed at an older age. Might consider docking the tail at that time, but haven't heard from anyone who has done this. Seems like this may be cruel and she might have symptoms of a "ghost tail" since it wasn't removed early in life.
