I actually feel sorry for the breeders that have to have this done. I know it must be very traumatic for them.

I guess we need some humane society to push for laws against tail docking.
I agree that it would be nice if tail docking would be banned as there doesnt seem to be any reason other that cosmetic for doing it. I know the standard calls for the docked tail but if it was outlawed the standard would just have to change. I admit I like the look of a standard yorkie but could easily get used to seeing them with tails as well. JMHO
