Docking is frowned upon more and more over here now and the rule is that the breeder is no longer allowed to do the docking, it must be carried out by a vet. Our previous two looked very cute with a docked tail but so do our present girls with their very fine "fan like" tails!! No idea if the KC over here allows them to be shown with long tails. |
i have a friend who's mother imported this extremely beautiful yorkie for them from the uk, he apparently has a magnificent pedigree and also sports an undocked tail. i was surprised since i know it still is allowed to dock, so i used to figure that showdogs would get automatically docked.
on a sidenote: her dog has the funniest name, it contains like 5 names or so and starts with a sir and has atleast a winston somewhere in there if i don't remember this wrong. he's the most precious yorkie, he's probably the yorkie that made me more interested in the breed, he's such a kiss- and cuddlemonster
