I like to get them on the floor and make whatever noise or use whatever toy will get their ears up and the very alert look and then you can get better idea of their natural confirmation and natural earset.
Of course you have to be ready with the camera to snap a lot of pics.
I don't have help most of the time but I am good at doing the toys/noise and the camera. I have done it enough LOL

There is no substitute for experience. I'll work with him some more and start a thread for him. Thanks for the tip.

I hate to do that. Leo insists that it be docked because the understanding with my friend is that we will show him and the tail willl hold him back in the ring.
Which is unfortunate that AKC/Judges do not have the same mind set that European judges has.
If they import a dog with a docked tail, they do not hold it against that dog.
We exported one to my friend and she CH him with no problem and he did have a docked tail.
But for that to happen here, I don't think there has ever been a CH with a long tail over here? IF there has I have never heard of it.

Oh Deana I'm sorry to hear that you have to go through making such hard decision. Has it ever been discussed with the YTCA (tail docking concerns in general)? Will the tail docking procedure in a grown up yorkie affect the coat in the tail part?

I have a vet that does an excellent job docking the tail.
I had imported a girl from Germany and he docked her tail and I had her in the ring within 3 weeks. The vet told me I knew how to stress him LOL
he knew she was going to be shown in a few weeks.
I hate doing this because they are use to their tails after having them. They do fine but it bothers me, because I dont mind the tail at all.
Paulie holds his fine when moving, he does not carry it over his back like a maltese does.
I have seen some carry them like a Maltese would and it does make the appearance different.
