Awwwwwwwwwww, so many wonderful responses.

THANK YOU ALL !!!!!
Yes, Taylor was just given to us nearly 6 weeks ago. We found out soon there after that she was in fact pregnant. We were surprised INDEED !!! She is on the old side to be having puppies. Trust me I had plenty of worries over this whole experience. She had 2 puppies and SADLY one was still born.

Broke my heart. Little Ceasar is doing GREAT at 5 days of age. He is super active and loves to eat. LOL Taylor WILL be getting spayed for all of the above mentioned reasons. We only want the BEST for our new DARLING. She is the SWEETEST, KINDEST, SMARTEST, ADORABLE little dog. We feel extremely BLESSED to have her and her new son. Again, THANK YOU TO ALL for your great advice and responses.

Yes, I vote for a tail!!
Jeanie's was done - as per usual in this side of the world. But I too would have loved to have seen her wag a TAIL instead of a stump. Their tails are like their smiles

I am not the staunch show person though - and have no problem with my little girls floppy ears (oh the horror

and her cottony coat..........

Beautiful - they are all ding dang beautiful, no matter what!!

Have a great day all!

Sorry to those of you used to this practice...but I find it absolutely disgusting. Over here it is against the law to dock tails....since the last 8 years...there is just no need for it, and all my four Yorkies have their tails...which wagg and look beautiful with hair flowing ! They never get injured and they have no reason to ever come off in that case.
If something happens to a tail...like in a cat...you obviously have to think about what is better for the dog...but to un-necessarily remove a tail just sickens me....same goes for dew claws ! (dog's "thumbs!")
So all you breeders who I have talked to and who have given me fab advice and who also dock tails....I still like you all ha ha...and in time you will see how nice the tails are...showing or not....once it becomes common-place to leave them poor tails alone !!!
When I bought my first 8 years ago...the law was just coming in, and it's the first thing I asked.....did my baby have her tail ? I am glad to say she did and still does.
Keep them tails a wagging

Taylor HAS her tail and I don't think we want to have little Ceasars tail bobbed. What are some opinions out there ??? I am not going to be showing or anything. God gave them a tail on purpose.... RIGHT ??? LOL
THANK YOU in advance.

I dont know how true this is maybe someone who is really interested could find out .This is just hear say !That they( who ever they are).Are trying to pass a law to leave dogs the way they are.No tail docking or ears done.My sister was telling me about it but I myself never heard anything about it.My opinion either way.WE STILL LUV OUR BABIES!

EARS ????!!!!

What do you over there do to ears....or do I not want to know ????!!!!

mrlmonroe · 07-11-2008, 03:35 PM

She probably just means to tape the ears that don't go up naturally.....because it is not good for some.......they think the ears MUST be up.....

I thought so too...but have since changed my mind......

jennylee333 · 07-11-2008, 04:44 PM

Maybe the whole ear comment is in reference to another breed???????? I have been indecision about the tail docking thing...I know it is standard, BUT...looks very painful...I can understand the dew claws, BUT isn't the tail being docked kind of vain...it is only done for the "standard"!!! Right?

mscat · 07-11-2008, 04:54 PM

Don't fool with nature, leave the tails alone

jennylee333 · 07-11-2008, 05:12 PM

Thank You

My Kodak has his tail but Mari doesn't, and I like his tail. They are cute with or without it.

TaylorsMomma · 07-11-2008, 06:31 PM

Considering little Ceasar is on day 5 in this world (LOL) he will DEFINITELY be keeping his happy, expressive little tail. I LOVE to see Taylor wagging her tail like crazy whenever I come home. Tails or no tails YORKIES are such sweet companions. Thanks for all of your opinions.
