Docked or undocked - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Which kind of tail does your furbaby have? Docked or undocked? Which do you prefer?
Kelsey's tail is docked and I think its adorable. But I know someone who just got a yorkie from a shelter and his tail is natural and it is equally cute. What's your opinion?

Zoe's is docked and I prefer it as I think it is cute. But either tail is fine.

Roxy's tail is docked, but I wouldn't have been disappointed if it was a full tail. I like both.

Both mine are Docked .. I love those tail waggers

DvlshAngel985 · 08-08-2010, 08:56 PM

Docked.

I know it's standard but I envy all the little yorkies with a full flag to wave. I won't be pulling my little boy out by the tail any time soon (the reason why they started docking tails) so I see no need to do it. His tail is very cute, but it doesn't wag, it vibrates!

There is so much personality in my little ones un-docked tail! It is so beautiful and I can't imagine it cut to a stump!

CouversMom · 08-08-2010, 09:30 PM

I have one with a docked tail and one with a full tail

I love them both equally. If I had the choice, I would end all tail docking. I think yorkies are adorable au naturale

Here is a pic from yesterday (sorry about the quality, it was taken from my iPhone):

Cody's tail is docked, but I prefer a natural long tail (like Michelle who posted above me, I too would end tail docking unless it serves a purpose).

I would love if I could see Bailey's full tail but his little nub is just as cute. :-)

Pistols tail is docked. I wouldn't matter to me either way. I love the look both ways.

Poppy's tail has not been docked.. The docking of tails is banned here in England.

I think tail docking should be banned in the U.S. too. I recently saw a Yorkie with an undocked tail (it was from England) and it was beautiful the way it carried its tail high! My Biewer is undocked (breed standard) is one of the things I love the most about her.

Unless their is a health reason I am not aware of, I think docking the tail is cruel

and unneccessary
