tail docking I am not very educated when it comes to tail docking. When I first heard what it was, it seemed unnecessary and cruel, but a lot of people disagree. I never thought much of it until my cousin called me today to tell me that my yorkie is in the process of being conceived. She mentioned that all the puppies will have their dew claws removed and their tails docked when they are 3 days old. I figured I should develop and opinion on the matter before letting her go ahead and dock my puppy's tail. So, please tell me all you know about tail docking and whether you agree or disagree with it. :) |
There was a thread started on this topic not long ago: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...l-docking.html where MANY posted their opinions about this topic. |
My preference is for a docked tail. I do believe it gives a more balanced look for a yorkie and is what the parent club requires for show. I'm aware of what the procedure entails and as long as it is done correctly, believe that it does not harm the pup. This is not to say I don't love the tail on the yorkies , I've seen with them left natural...just my preference. If this is to be your pet yorkie, you should have done what your prefer. |

I already discussed my opinions in the thread posted above... but I think it's a total unnecessary procedure and pointless. Just my opinion... I think let them have their all natural tail that they're born with. I don't want/need a show dog -- just wanted a pet. :) |
