I LOVE tails , thankfully my new puppy will arrive complete with his nice tail - it's illegal to tail dock in Australia . Sarah

I think all yorkies look great long or short tail. But I don't like the idea of having a dog with a docked tail, cause if I was a dog I think I wouldn't like it!

Anyway yorkies look wonderful with long tail and I love my yorkie's tail!

Why not? This is really bothering me. What are the regulations on this and dewclaw removal?

Sorry! Just realized I hijacked this thread! My bad. Ignore my question.

I think these guys look adorable with tails!

I think they look adorable also!!!

My Heidi already had her tail docked when i bought her at 8 weeks back in 1993. I often wondered what she would have looked like with her full tail.
I don't know whether it is illegal or not in the UK...could anyone enlighten me?
I wonder if my next baby will have a full tail or docked..

I have one with a docked tail and one without. Lola's tail is just about the cutest thing and she is so expressive with it. I know when she is extremely happy and when she is about to bark at me for ignoring her(she wags it real fast then

) Chewy's was docked. It's cute, but I tend to think it would have been a beautiful, long and thick tail. Standard or not, I prefer a tail.

Sorry, my Mugzy is docked, but he still has a little bit to wag. Actually, his whole butt goes crazy when I come home!

I believe the good looking tails do require some work because my boy Codie (he's a Maltese) has a long tail that curls like a little piggy over his butt ... it's so adorable.

And I have to keep the hair combed and well groomed, not use too much conditioner on the tail and I blow it dry with a round brush to get it looking full and poofy. It also is layered lolol Hubby says I'm nuts but I love having his tail look perfect!

Thank you for your nice compliment on Reece's tail...Darla my yorkie/bichon cross has a tail also that does look scraggly from time to time...Reece's tail always looks very nice but Darla's coat is also straggly and Reece's isnt really..a quick brush a couple times a day and Reece always looks great...Darla only looks neat the day she comes home from the groomer lol..I think it depends on coat type...maybe lol..

My Bella is a yorkie/pom and she has a full tail. I personally think she'd look silly with a docked tail. It fits with her floppy ears

paulapoo · 06-20-2007, 04:08 PM

I'm a fan of the full tail. My shihpoo has a cute flip up tail that requires little maintence and fans so prettily. and all I have to do is say his name and it starts wagging. I wish Otis could give me a big wag sometimes, a little more than a nubbin wag. But I love him anyway. His is actually pretty long as far as docked tails go.

That's a great idea

. Remy has tried to chase his stub but just can't quite reach it! I'll try that.
