Chelsey is our first yorkie with an UNdocked tail, before we got her i thought ide never get used to it, but now that we have her its cuter all the way, the tip of her tail touches her back curls right up, its easy to see what her mood is, if she drops her tail she looks ( confused or unsure )... if i get a good pic of her standing ill post one, there is one of her in the galay, but shes not standing there :D i have to add, docked or undocked, they all full of yorkielove and cute! |

Tails Our Magic has an undocked tail and she is just precious when she wags her tail. We can always tell when Magic is excited about something as her tail wags faster and faster! Our Sailor has a docked tail and we are just beginning to see her try to wag her tail....but you have to watch closely or you miss it! We love them both the way they are and would not change anything.....it just seems if they have a longer tail it allows them another way to communicate! :animal-sm |
doc or not I have six new puppies that I am supposed to take to the vet tomorrow and have their tales docked and I have mixed feelings about it. My Bentley has his docked and it's the cutest, and my Bitsy doesn't have hers docked and it's the most beautiful tail I've ever seen and she carries it so prissy I cannot imagine her with a docked tail :) I'm torn! I'll try and get a good picture of Bitsy standing up tomorrow so you can see it. I don't think you can see it on the pics I posted cause she was laying down nursing her pups. I do hate the thought of having my pups tales cut on though!! Breed standard or not:( It's probably going to hurt! I wonder if people will want them if they aren't dock?!? |
Taildocking is a very controverial subject and the internet has lots of info if you want to learn more. My personal opinion would be not to dock the tails unless you intend to show the dog. Here is a link for more info: http://www.angelfire.com/anime/taildocking/ |

Do you guys have any pictures of docked versus undocked tails? Fred has a little stub that he wiggles and I think it's the CUTEST thing ever! Would that be docked or undocked? :rolleyes: |
i think that little nub is too cute waggin a 100mph but if i were looking for a puppy and the one i found had an undocked tail i wouldn't care |
I cant say if Ive ever seen a Yorkie with a tail before it was docked?? :confused: Does anyone have a picture they could post?? I would like to see it. |

They (scientists and doctors) say that a newborn puppy cannot feel pain so that might change some people's views on tail docking if it's done within the first few days of life. |
I wish i could go back in time and have Mojo's tail undocked!! It is just so cute...my cousin has a yorkie with a full tail and it is just so cute...my next yorkie will have a full undocked tail!! |
I would say I would prefer the docked tail. Although I have not had a pup any other way, but when I look for a puppy I am looking for the breed standard. (I plan to show my dogs)I would keep a yorkie with an undocked tail if it was one less expensive or 2 given to me as a pet. However I am not going to pay the kind of money I did for a dog that cannot quailfy for a championship. I do not believe that docking the tail is as bad as some say. I have dobermans as well and they to are docked, it is done so early and if you find a good vet or breeder that knows what they are doing it can not only be low pain, but blood free. Just my 2 cents |
