Default Veterinarian for Breeders??

Hi, okay so I need a new vet. When I asked my vet to do the puppies tails and dew claws he asked about how long I want to cut the puppies tails , eeeek. That is what sent me searching!! Nobody I seem to call in L.A. wants to remove my puppies dew claws and do their tails??? So, I need one that is not funny about working with someone who is breeding at AKC standards and has some knowledge about Yorkies or small dogs, at the least. A few told me it was in the process of being outlawed to cut tails and remove dew claws. I love my vet, he's great (not the hospital, obviouslly) but when he saw my pups he asked me if they were full Yorkie and commented that they don't look like it and they look more like little Rottweilers. I explained to him that their coats will grow in, different colors in a few months and he said, "I don't know I'm not a breeder. I just heal animals." Like I said he is a great veterinarian, I just need someone more knowledgeable about the breed so I won't be giving him lessons, lol...

(I know that usually the taild are done before now, they are five days old but it was suggested I wait because of all they were going through and the fluid in lil bro's lungs.)

Anybody in L.A. have any suggestions??? Willing to travel some for a great doctor...
