Does the tail grow? Hi all. My Domo has almost no tail, just a little nub. Was he born this way, will it ever grow? |
It was probably docked..that's "standard" for yorkies. I wish it wasn't, honestly. |
tail are cute The tail is docked when the puppies are a few days old. They are born with long tails, normally. So, the answer to your question is no. |

The little nub tail is not the norm. The official Yorkshire Terrier Standard in the US states the tail should be docked to a medium length. Yorkshire Terrier Page Of course there are many people in the US and other countries breeding only pet quality dogs and they know little about how the tail should be docked. Even many vets just guess at what they are doing. It is actually dangerous to dock so close to the spine as it can cause permanent damage. Some poor little ones can hardly wiggle their tails back and forth due to improper docking. The tail will grow as your pup grows but it will not increase in length. |
thanks all for the responses |
