| I am not a fan of undocked tails. An undocked tail really changes the outline and balance of a Yorkie. Too short of a docked tail will do the same..most pet breeders dock too short.

My feelings exactly! "Optional" would appeal to me best, rather than MORE intrusive laws and regulations and restrictions, prompted by animal rights activists who are not actually knowledgable of the procedures they are "against", and passed into law by legislators who have NO idea of what they are doing or why, just responding to lobbyist with the deepest pockets and largest bankrolls.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I feel that you have people waiting for these lil ones it should really be up to them it's like selling a house you feel that it's worth this but the economy says something else and with that said you have to say do you want to sell or not |

| I don't mind a full tail if it is on a dog with a correct tail set. Here are some pictures of some beautiful European dogs with full tails: YORKSHIRE TERRIER BREEDERS - Yorkie Show, Info, Stud, Puppy News I just think the docked tail looks neater.

| If they are willing to pay for the pup up front, I will leave a tail undocked. I have NEVER had anyone ask me to leave the tail undocked.,,,they have asked if I docked tails and when I said yes, they were thrilled. Likewise and on the other hand, if you are selling a house without a swimming pool, people that want a swimming pool will go look at houses that have pools....I am certainly not so desperate to sell that I will dig a pool for them, especially when 90% of the buyers do not want a pool!!! |

The vet who did ours wanted to go shorter than what I wanted. She kept trying to go right where the color changed and I kept saying 1/2" on the black side of that change...... She didn't understand why. I didn't want the short. I wanted medium. I still think she went a little shorter than what I wanted.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Breeders choice is the option I still feel is right. CKC will change all standards to allow for this for every single breed. There is already one province in Canada where it is illegal to crop or dock.

Senior Yorkie Talker | Well, it wasn't quite that - breeder chose not to dock and we were/are very happy with that - as newbies, we didn't even think that would be an option. (I doubt we would have done a full prepay without meeting the puppy just to get an undocked one, which is apparently what one frequently has to do?). |

| I love a full tail, and much prefer it but I agree it should be breeders choice. I don't think the govt. should get involved. I prefer a Doberman with cropped ears and docked tail personally, and they're probably the only breed that I do.

| I like the look of docked but if the standard called for undocked I would be fine with it
