Is your Yorkies Tail Docked? Hi again, I have noticed that some Yorkies on here have docked tails? Is this a legal thing to do in America? It has been banned in Britain for all breeds, anyone selling pups with docked tails are prosecuted. I think Yorkies look cute with there tails short but long is also cute. What do you think? Thanks:D |
I'm in Canada, still awaiting my puppy because he is so young, but his tail is docked. I think they should ban it here to, it isn't really necessary.. |
I'm in Northern Ireland and its still legal here. Millies was docked and Tobys isnt. Any pups born after they made it illegal in england cannot be shown at Crufts with docked tails. I have heard a lot of people taking pups over here from England to get them docked. |
The standard in the US calls for docked tails. Reggie and Frazier's tails are un-docked and their tails are my favorite part. I love to see a stub tail wag, but it's glorious to see those white flags go. |
Docked tails is still the standard here. Ellie's tail is docked and I prefer it. I don't really like the undocked look for a Yorkie but I think it's cute on a Shih Tzu because they curl up so nicely. Dew claws are also removed here quite often. |
Frimousse doesn't have a tail at all . She needed emergency surgery to take it off . |
Pasquale's tail is docked...and i'm sorta glad cause he has this tendency of backing his butt up into my face when i'm sleeping. Could you imagine if he had a tail?? :eek: I'd probably wake up with roadrash from all that tail wagging!! :D |
Pebbles has a docked tail. Bogey is a Morkie and his tail is also docked but IMO not done properly and was done too long. :( Doodlebug is also a Morkie and his has a long beautiful tail and I just love it! :p Personally I think that there are too many BYBer that do not know WTH they are doing when it comes to docking tail and end up not doing it properly like Bogey. *Totally off the tail docking subject but ear cropping is be banned as well. My sister and BIL just brought home their 3rd Dobbie puppy and plan to have her ears cropped. I want to just cry it is the most barbaric thing to do to a dog and should not be allowed anywhere. To tell you the truth I want to go and steal her and hind her out until it is too late for them to put her through. :mad: |
Funny Megasmomma thought her yorkie's tail is too long, 'cause I think Apple's is too short...lol...it doesn't stand straight up, just out, and I think it's because it was docked too short...However, I wish they didn't dock tails or crop ears (on those dogs that get cropped ears)...I think it's unnecessary and just appeals to people's eyes, instead of the dog's feelings...IMHO ;) Maggie:) & Apple:aimeeyork (w/the too short tail) |
Laci's tail is docked, her dew claws are not removed... I love seeing pictures of Yorkies with Tails I think they look adorable!! |
It is still legal here and called for by the standard per ACK. Both my Yorkies have docked tails. My Biewer does not (She was born in Germany and a the Biewer standard calls for the tail to be left in tact.) :) |
Both of mine are docked:) |
My yorkies tail is docked, so is my moms yorkie but my moms friends yorkie who is from the same litter as my moms doesn't have hers done apparently because she was too small at the time. I prefer the docked tail but with a tail is cute as well! I just like the "standard" look for the yorkie with ears up as well! |
Piper's tail is docked. It's very cute and it's docked at a nice length. That little tail has it's own personality. My first yorkie, Chipper, also had a docked tail but it was docked too short. I use to call it his little nubbin. |
Delilah's is docked and I think it looks cute, however I don't think it's necessary and I feel bad that they have to suffer through that. :( |
