I would love to keep Lil' T just to watch him grow with that tail! Who ever ends up getting him will have to swear they will send me monthly pictures.

They are both beautiful! I love how Lil T's tail curls up like that! He has had a special place in my heart since he was born, and I've loved watching him grow!

If I can't find him, that's the first place I look. Apollo, on the other hand, is energetic, crawls up onto the couch, bounces all over the place, loves to play and give kisses. He weighs 2.3 lb. We are beginning our search for the perfect homes for them. Lil' T's tail still curls up on his back like a chow. It is so darn cute. His ears were up for a long time but have decided to flop down again so out will come the tape. Apollo's tail sticks straight up in the air. These are the first two that didn't get their tails docked due to mother-in-law in the hospital and my work schedule.......couldn't get into the vet's office to have them done. Now that I see what they can look like with a natural tail, I'm actually considering keeping tails in the future. I see that yorkie show standards are allowing full tails but a judge has the choice to disqualify it from competition. But then I really don't care about show competition, that's not my bag and not enough time to devote to it. Any thoughts on the subject from you?

Linda,
I have decided that with my extra tinies, if they are struggling at all in the beginning, I am not docking tails either. I lost my little girl, who seemed to be doing fairly well, not good, but fairly well before the tails. Then after I had them done, she struggled so much and didnt make it. So they will just have long tails. I think they look awesome!

I have also had a couple of tiny ones struggle and not make it after having their tails docked. Now I wait until they are a week old instead of 3-5 days. My vet is OK with that because they are so small but with a larger breed he would not wait that long. They seemed to do much better waiting the extra couple of days. The boys got to keep their tails due to circumstances beyond my control. The new litter of girls got theirs docked. Since I'm not breeding for show, I think I may start leaving their tails natural.

It's amazing how different they tails are. Apollo's is fairly straight but does lay on his back. Lil' T's has the cutest curl over his back. I've only seen a couple of pictures of yorkies with tails, mostly European and their tails were more out the back like other dogs.

I just sold a little boy, Indy, to a couple who are from England. They are here in the States now, but they say that in England everyone leaves thier Yorkies tails long.
I like it! I love Little T's curl!
