I really hate reading things like this

. Could you imagine the pain the pups would go through to have there tails docked at that age

. There tails are full of nerves. She should be ashamed of herself

. Disgusting. This really needs to be banned World wide in my opinion. So sad, poor babies, they are so cute with there tails, Yorkies long tails are amazing.

OMG!!!

This is one of the reasons i get so passionate and emotional about tail docking! it has to be banned the world over as soon as possible! this disgusts me so much! all they are concerned with is lining their own pocket and not the welfare of those poor babies...I pray they get owners who will want them in all their natural beauty.....i'm really angry now...think i'd better go and have a cup of tea and calm myself down...

I wish everyone felt so strongly against it as we do Kezza. As dog lovers we all need to stand together and put a stop to it.

I know...I just don't 'get' people saying they thinks it looks 'cuter', 'prettier'...this is living and breathing animal with feelings...go buy a stuffed dog and cut bits of that till it satisfies your vanity....

people say that yorkies are not fashion accessories...but if you are willing to support docking in the name of fashion or vanity and just because you think your dogs looks 'cuter' then whats the difference? I remember a thread about peircing yorkies ears a while ago...everyone was disgusted...but again...whats the difference? some said they were sure their yorkie would prefer NOT to have their ears peirced...well im pretty sure if our dogs could talk they would say they would prefer to KEEP their tails!

I agree with all of you ... My Cole has his tail and I love it....He does too!!!

izzierj · 05-25-2009, 05:54 AM

Another thing I forgot to mention, do you think the photo of your baby sniffing his pee or some of the other dirty looking stuff on the deck and clutter was appealing to possible buyers?

erickajm · 05-25-2009, 06:59 AM

Good. So its not just me. I am wondering if her vet is telling her that she can get it docked at 10 weeks?

I'm not sure a reputable vet would do it at that age...so...could end up a 'Do It Yourself' job that could go horribly wrong...I have seen pictures of dead puppies that died due to DIY tail docking from inexperienced greedy breeders...

I love the long tail. Clara Belle's is long and waves proudly when she prances. Casey's was docked and when she wagged it it looked so cute. I wish I could have seen her with a proud full tail.

I agree. What a terrible picture to use to sell that baby. It's a pigsty. I would be embarrassed. These people have no judgement. Don't you think that taking a picture maybe on the lawn would have been nicer. It's disgusting.

That is sad and look at the food they are feeding the poor baby too! Kibbles and bits yuck omg can they find a worse food to feed the poor thing, grrrrrr that makes me mad.
