To Dock or Not to Dock? That is the question! Dang, I love this site - just joined and I can't stop reading and posting my 2cents worth! :) As to the docking - I presently have 2 males UNDOCKED! And I can tell you they are BEAUTIFUL! One particular male, Little Man, is my stud muffin! He uses his long haired tail to 'woo' the females - human AND 4 legged! :lol tearsHe curls his body around and 'flitters' his tail near his mouth and GRINS!! Looks much like a Spanish dancer with a fan! Everyone loves it! And when my 2 furbabies get into a fight - you just grab a tail in each hand and PULL! Beats getting yourself bitten!! My 2 females (passed away in January and November '09) both had their tails docked and they were cute, but I would have rather they had not been docked - but I was told you 'had to do it!' I love the long haired tails and would never dock another! But to each his own as long as the furbabies are LOVED! |
Sorry, there shouldn't have been a zero after the one! Ha ha, I don't want a brick attached to her ear! ;) Just a cute 1 carat that'll stand out nicely against her black fu, without being tacky. Ha ha ha, every girl should have a pair of real diamond earrings! She will have certainly earned them after she Ch.'s. :) |

I don't know whether standards are shifting in the UK,but most of the younger yorkies I see are undocked. My own pup, Lucy, has the cutest (entire) tail, which communicates her mood brilliantly. Above all, when she's welcoming us home it's so madly waggy it's almost like a helicopter rotor! |

BamaFan, unfortunantly because of people like SusieQ that believe registering their recognized litter with the AKC is unimportant, or notifying them when your dog is deceased, it is possible to register a dog of a one breed as a dog of another. All one needs is the AKC number of an unregistered, deceased dog, or just one of a dog where the owner doesn't care their dogs number is being used in the lie. If your puppies litter has been recognized b documents sent in by the breeder, finish the registry. And guard your AKC number like you would your SS#. |

I didn't register Roxie because I was only interested in having her as a loving companion. I never intended on showing her or breeding her. I remember asking on here what others thought, if I should or not. Even asked my SIL. No one seemed to think it was all that important since she wasn't for show or breeding purposes. But I do have all of the papers that came with her explaining her blood line. If I ever did decide to register her I guess I still could, but not sure what the point would be. I would also love her waggely little butt just the same weather she has a docked tail or a whole tail!! |

To dock or not to dock Boxer is docked - I think long skinny tails on boxers are very ugly - looks too much like a big rat tail. eew! Besides the boxer is so rambunctious as a puppy - I can't imagine the damage it would do with that tail! Yorkie chi isn't docked - but she doesn't need to be standard since she is a mutt! I love her fluffly tail. IMHO - Our governments need to spend their time and energy on more important matters than whether we dock or don't dock our dogs' tails. Docked or undocked tails don't effect the environment, world peace or poverty. |

I have seen RSPCA photographs of dead puppies that have died from infection due to inexperienced breeders docking their own puppies (obviously trying to avoid the vet fee) it is heartbreaking...even OLDER dogs with infected stumps where the owner/breeder has decided too late that they want to dock the dogs tail after all..people see these breeds being shown at the dog shows with docked tails so they want that 'look' with their own dog...once people see these breeds winning the top prizes with UNDOCKED tail the better..my honest opinion everyone:) |
Please take the time to read...many thanks YT friends. |

My Sadie has her tail, she is over a year now, Chewy has a docked tail, he is over two years. There is no difference in the cleanliness between the two. I have to keep the hair around their butt cut short, both get butt cuts tail or no tail!!! |

I have have seen many posts from people on here asking to see pictures of yorkies with full tails because they have NEVER seen one! I find this so sad:( I'm hoping that one day people will be asking for pictures of yorkies with DOCKED tails because they have never seen one...;) |

Like I said earlier today...sure didn't mean to offend anyone! I was just merely stating what I heard. Registering a dog is a preference. So excuse me for making a statement! |
