Zachary is from German parents (Biewer Yorkie) and in Germany, they do not do the tails or ears either. So Zachary has the most BEAUTIFUL LONG TAIL!!

I LOVE the teapot thing!! Zachary is just about 17 weeks old so I have no idea what he will weigh. He gets his last shots tomorrow so I will have Rocky weigh him.

I love my dogs no matter what they look like. One of my Japanese Chin's weighs 7 1/2 pounds, one over 12. One of my Chihuahua's is 5 pounds, one is 10.

Each one is special and an individual and I love them all!

My little girl Catarina has a full tail and I love it!

I wasn't used to it at start, but now I can't picture her with a docked tail.

My Coco has a long tail and floppy ears. There's nothing more expressive when he'shappy than that tail. I love it!

Aww I'm so pleased to hear support for long tailed yorkies, I am from the UK too, so of course the idea of docking seems so bizarre and pretty cruel to me.

So if we have teapot yorkies, what could we call our long tailed buddies? The Waggers? I'd have a Wagging Teapot if we do!

Any ideas?

What about tall tales (tails) ?

not sure if Lola counts, she is a yorkie pom mix, but LOL I think of her more like a yorkie except when it comes to her tail. At first I was disappointed that they did not dock her tail, but now we just love it and I have changed my mind about the concept of docking yorkie tails. Her tail now is longer than her body, she is 10.5" from neck to edge of tail and her tail is 11". I keep wondering how long it will get if I never trim it. Here are some photos of it, mostly it is up and flows down one side of her body, it's also two tone, lighter on the underneath.

wow!! that is an awesome tail!!

That is an extremely lovely tail

I have tail envy now

I told my DH that when we're ready for another Yorkie, I'm doing my very best to find one with their full tail intact

Brody does...Mia's was docked way too short. I like the full tail.

Chachis was docked way too short to. He hardly has a tail to wag

my past yorkies came from show breeders and had tails just not long ones, the show breeders seem to know how to dock properly and leave a little something. Also the hair on a properly docked tail usually will grow so you can still get some of that cascade effect.

Does anyone know about hair on tails, if I don't cut Lola's I wonder how long it will grow. I am afraid that it will eventually start getting caught in things. I am pretty careful but the other night after a few hours on YT I found out she had curled up and went to sleep under my desk chair, and I started to roll over it, luckily I only got the hair end, not the tail muscle or cartilage or whatever the tail is made of. I can see why they dock working dogs because tails can be a hazard. Even now Lola's tail till surprises her and she jumps back like OMG

what the heck is following me, now when she chases her tail she can easily catch it

Hailey does and i LOVE it! it's so beautiful.... it has such a nice feathery look.
she ended up with a long tail because she was a premie and was too small when it came time to have her tail docked so she kept it. boy am i glad she did!

My late Molly had beautiful tail feathers. She loved to chase her tail. It was just so darn cute and she was so happy while doing it.
I miss my Mollyh so much.

Lucy is UNDOCKED! I think over time you'll see more and more pups WITH their tails in tact. ('bout time.)
