Believe me, with two teenage sons (15 and 18), I am not sure that I didn't make the right decision!

It makes me feel bad too when I post pictures on here of Tino, but I love his tail, you can tell when he's happy cos it wags like a helicopter blade its that fast!!! Its also illegal to get it done over here.

I love my Bitsy's undocked tail but I caved and had my pups tails docked....I left mine alone

Tails or no tails, They all are adorable. We had dobermans with floppy ears, my Mom would never cut their ears. I think it mad them look cute.

You're lucky. It helps them communicate with us and with other dogs and helps with balance. Nothing wrong with having a tail!

I love a yorkie with a tail!!

I agree!

Sorry, but that is not entirely true. There is a condition called phimosis which is a " stenosis or narrowness of preputial orifice so that the foreskin cannot be pushed back over the glans penis" pg P69 Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary.

Ask any adult male who has had to have a later-in-life circumcision due to phimosis, and I am sure they wish their mother's had done it as an infant.

Docking and ear cropping will be hot topics for years to come. Certainly nothing regal about a boxer or doberman with floppy ears either. JMO

Smudger is the only yorkie irl that I have seen with a docked tail, as Alona said it is seen as unethical over here and is actually illegal. But Smudger does have his tail docked I think it looks really cute and nice and neat. But I don't dislike a yorkie with a tail, but they do worry me for health reasons.

My mums yorkie is 7 and she has her tail and it has a big (and I mean BIG) lump in her tail, my mum said it's where she trapped it badly in the door..... although I'm not convinced

I actually love the look with the tail. If you aren't showing, it shouldn't be a problem.

txshopper73 · 01-19-2006, 12:05 PM

I thought this thread was about tail docking. Why are we talking about penises and foreskin? There is NO comparison there. Human males are circumcised for health reasons. Tails are docked for the look, to give a neater appearance since they aren't working in the rat fields anymore. You don't circumcise a penis for a neater look.

Actually, my husband wanted both my boys circumsized to look like him. He thinks it looks neater. Seeing as I got to pick names, I let him have his way down there! LOL

SPANCHOU · 01-19-2006, 12:19 PM

i thught i heard that they are allowing dogs in dog compitions even when their tails are not docked

red98vett · 01-19-2006, 12:20 PM

Ok I wasn't going to say this but....I prefer both my yorkies AND men docked....hehe - sorry - but this was a little racy...

I guess when they change the standard ....I would go with that but I do like the look of docked tails.... and I also love the look of a tail.....my preference is the standard yorkie look.

I have a Yorkie with a docked tail and ears pointing straight up. If I ever got another one, I would want full tail and ears down. One of each...but both equally as cute!! IMO
