That doesn't really depend on AKC, as per FCI is really who desides the standard and requirements for each breed and if that is what they decide that is what will be. Now they are "allowing" dogs with undocked tails and there is a lot of groups pushing for the ban of this practice which is believed unecessary and even cruelty.
I know that in South America, they are also talking about prohibiting any dogs with docked tals or that had the ears cut to participate in dog shows in a few years.
I personally think it is unecessary...yorkies look very very cute with undocked tails. I have already specified to the breeder that my new yorkie will not have her tail docked.
