Yorkies with full tails are shown in Europe but not here in the States. At least I haven't heard that full tails are acceptable in showing, and the YTCA standard does still calls for a docked tail. Also, the only thing I could find on a specific States banning tail docking is California banning the docking of cows tails. Dogs do show emotions with their tails, but I've never had a problem reading my yorkies emotions with their shortened tails. |
There is a Yorkie that goes to the same dog park that I go to and she has the long tail. It is beautiful, the hair on the tail is long and kind of feathery. The long tail would not work for my Buster, I'm glad his is docked but I think they might have docked it too short. It's almost like it's too short to wag. (if that's possible) |

Right again, dogs do show their emotions with their tails, wagging when they are happy, upset, dropping them when they are thinking and or unsure of themselves. But, if docked to the correct length and there is a correct length, they can still wag their tails... Since I exhibit, my dogs tails are docked anywhere from 3 to 5 days. All dependent on their weight at the time. Their tail furnishinngs still grow to the ground....so coat growth isn't hindered.. I've seen a couple of dogs in the ring with full length tail...but, they didn't do well. |
In November 2008, the American Veterinary M Assoc (AVMA) executive board made a decision to strengthen their stance opposing the cropping of ears and docking of tails as well as other surgeries performed on pets for purely cosmetic reasons. This decision was made amid a great deal of controversy, with the Utah Veterinary Medical Association (UVMA) even submitting a resolution to the House of Delegates of the AVMA asking for a more tolerant stance toward these surgical procedures. The resolution, also supported by the AKC, was eventually voted down by the House of Delegates and a new position statement opposing cosmetic surgeries such as ear cropping and tail docking was adopted by the AVMA. Puppies can and do die as a result of docking and that is why breeders are unlikely to dock a runt or undersize/weight puppy. Show dogs - if there is a judge who is sympathetic to tailed dogs (unlikely as they are usually breders themselves) then undocked dogs stand a chance in the ring. It is also difficult to find a puppy conforming to a breed standard when not bred by those who show. However it is just as important to find a breeder who does not in-breed and has the inherited genetic health of the breed as their prime concern when mating. Buyers should be looking out for eye testing having been done on sire and dam and also other problems see this link Anti-Docking Alliance Web Site Puppies Pastoral&Toy Group |
