Oscar's tail is docked. As far as docking your pup's tail, it is just your preference. I had an American Bulldog that developed a kink in his tail. He was to be used for show so we opted to dock it when he was 7 months old. He never acted like it bothered him either. But bulldogs may handle pain a lot different than yorkies. Talk to your vet...they should know more about it. If you get the pup spayed or neutered, that would be a good time to dock the tail and also pull any baby teeth that have not come out on thier own.
Congrats on getting your new pup...there is nothing better than a yorkie baby!!! Tail or not!!! |
