this may be a stupid question, so feel free to yell at my ignorance..... but how DO they dock the tails? I've seen on the animal planet about people tieing rubber bands around tails so they will lose circulation and fall off

, toby looks cute with a docked tail, but i would love him just as much without a docked tail...... furthermore, i think it is especially unnecessary that my toby has had his tail docked because he doesnt even have papers! he is not show quality, he is PET quality!, but..... the breeder still docked his tail, maybe because this is the norm for the breed and he didnt want to sell yorkies that looked "different".............
