tails?

[Koran]

One of my babies is registered, the other is not. The female I have had a standard mommy yorkie but the dad was a Biewer. I was told, because of this that I could not register. I am fine with that as my pups are pets not show dogs. But I was just curious how I could find out of this is true. Could it be that the biewer dad has to be registered with AKC first?

Anyway, this topic always gets hot but IMO I like the breed as the standard is set. All mine now and future will be docked.

my little girl must have gotten away durng docking, lol
she had 4 brothers, the only thing she didn't miss out on
was a scap on her ear, from one of her brothers most likely, lol
i like her long tail, i think is it so cute...she is registered too

yorkies a beiwers are to different breeds right? therefoor your dog is a mixed breed. You cant register a mixed breed.

Depends on who you ask. Some have had testing done on their Biewers that show that there are other breeds in the mix, some stand by the belief that they derived from standard Yorkies. Some Biewer breeders still integrate standard colored Yorkies into their programs on occasion if my understanding is correct and they are still registerable as Biewers. (Depending on which registry you are going with and which breed club you affiliate yourself with. It's not a practice/beleif that is universally agreed upon.)
Either way, Biewers cannot be registered with AKC at this point.

Thanks for posting this.

University of Birmingham Centre for Biomedical Ethics, ‘very young animals are
likely to feel more pain than older animals’6.

A possible explanation for the belief of some dog breeders that puppies feel negligible pain on docking is that
very young puppies may be physically incapable of displaying some of the behaviours that would indicate pain

I do believe some "desinger" or "mixed" bred dogs can be registered through CKC, if the parents are registered, but I could be wrong.

Just some pictures of a show yorkie with a full tail (2-5 yrs of age). I don't think it's ugly, just the opposite

I thought this too but didn't say it!

Years ago, I worked on the OB floor of the local hospital and witnessed a number of circumcisions and I am in the room when my puppies have their tails cropped. Believe me, the babies and puppies feel what is going on! My OB and I had several very heated discussions about my wanting to use a local anesthetic on my baby's penis if I decided to circumcise him ... luckily I had 2 girls!

Yorkie's tails are cropped because that's the standard, they can still be registered if you decide to not crop, they just cannot be shown in AKC conformation classes. Personally, I feel that cropping is unnecessary but I crop my pups tails because it is the standard.

PLEASE LOOK AT THE THUMBNAILS SHE HAD - PROOF IS IN THE PHOTO!!

Thank you from a 'million puppy yelps in pain' for showing just how beautiful yorkies can be with tails!! I love them all and will never dock another tail (or ears) on any dog! Just my opinion - don't mean to offend anyone!

Biewers are pure bred yorkies with a gene difference. They are not mixes by any means. There is testing done to prove this because unscrupulous breeders do mix breed to attain that look. There sometimes called Party colored. But real Biewers have the piebald gene (dont ask me to explain it all but there are lots of resources if you google Biewer.) but were created from standard yorkies and there are no other dogs in the mix. Personally, I love my baby but it is crazy to me how they would concentrate on a gene difficiency or change but that is what a biewer is. My Biewer/standard has no white. I prefer the standard yorkies but since the same mommy as my first was the mommy I had to have this puppy!

Before arriving to my home , Frimousse had a tail . One day , her owner got mad at her and started swinging her by the tail and broke it . The vet had to cut the complete tail .
