| Bald Tail Stub? Our new little girl (16 weeks) has kind of a bald tail stub. There is some hair on it,but you can see quite a bit of black skin, too. Tucker has an undocked tail, so I can't really compare to see if hers is normal and my mom's yorkie's tail was cut too short to tell much. Is this still just a result of healing from the docking? Will it eventually be covered with hair? This is new to me. Thanks in advance. If needed, I'll try and post a picture tomorrow. Julie and Tucker and Molly (or maybe Isabel, or Isabella, or Eva, or Ava -we're having a hard time deciding, but think it might be Molly) |

| Here's my experience with a bald docked tail. I got Chipper when he was 4 mo. old. Went to have his check-up according to the agreement I signed. Asked the docs why the tail was bald. No idea. They said that's the way it would be. I'm kind of shocked so I go back to the breeder. Duh, Chipper's tail had been shaved before the docking. Now it has thick, thick hair on it. Needless to say I did not go back to that vet. Joanne |

| Chewy's tail hair grows until i cut it. he has a little fountain like tail cause i let the hair grow so he can wag! Sadie's tail is not docked so she has what i call the black cheese doodle! (it looks like one!) I'm sure as your baby grows the hair will to!
