The Yorkshire Terrier club of America makes all the decisions regarding the standand and how it applies to our breed..AKC in turn abides by the wishes of the club..FCI does not enter into any of it.
As a breeder, I can not determine at 3 to 5 days which pups are going to be pets and which are going to be show potentials..so all pups get their tails docked. I, personally do not have a problem with tail docking since it can be done without pain and destress to the newborn..but I would not own a breed that needed ear cropping.
