Tail Docked or Not?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Definitely post pics, as I have never seen them with their tails.
I think that I would love them no matter which way!

Stormy has a docked tail, I love her little stumpy!! Personally I like yorkies with a docked tail thats just my opinion. I wouldn't crop ears but I do like yorkies with their ears standing. I just fell in love with their look and theres certain things I wanted in my yorkie. My mom's friends yorkie has a tail and it isn't so bad, it's cute! But when I get my next one I definitely want a docked tail and standing ears.

i think the tail is cute. but i also think all dogs are very cute.
milu had her tail docked, and i think maybe the ears too?
do they say cropped? for ears?

i think milu is really cute, if i were a breeder, i don't know what i would do?
honestly, i think someone compared tail docking for yorkies to baby boys getting circumcised. although for human i think it is also hygenic? but for yorkies its purely aesthetic.

but for breeders, it might be harder for them to sell their dogs if tail not docked since that;s the standard? i don't know.

thank you for sharing the pix, she is adorable!

Glad you liked the pictures. We didn't choose to keep the tail...the breeder (first litter) did. She's our first dog. We were used to our friends' Yorkies, so docked would have been fine.

I do love the tail, though. It's very expressive. And I think it helps her dance (on her back feet) because it helps her balance.

Any way, she is the love of our life....not sure what we did without her!

OMG I love the natural tail. My girls tails are docked. Patsy has a tendency to carry her's very low, so you rarely see it. Bonnie, on the other hand carries her tail straight up. It looks like a little propeller when she wags it.

Puddin' is not docked, but I can't show her as a result. Our breed standard calls for a docked tail and as of last June, our vets can't dock tails. Unfortunately, the breeders can legally do it themselves, so the breed standard has not changed,

piptickle · 02-26-2009, 01:43 AM

I have'nt got any recent good pix of her tail these are from 4/5 months ago when she was 7/8 months old! I just love all dogs with their tails!!! And prefer them that way!!!

i don't really know if her ears were cropped or not, they kind of look like they had been, because they are little perfectly triangle shaped. but i am not sure if she was born like that or if the breeder 'cropped' them.

look at milu's pix in my album, what do you think?
