<p style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:medium;">Corgi tail docking is a tradition inherited from history. Don’t look at the Corgi’s short legs. Historically, it is just a working dog specialized in chasing cattle. However, because its legs are too short, its tail is in the way when chasing cattle and sheep, and it is easy for cattle to step on its tail. It is believed that in order to prevent the dog from being injured, tail docking is adopted. In addition, in the past, taxes were required to keep dogs in the UK, and tail docking could avoid taxes. Another interesting saying is that because the Corgi Zhengjia sent to the British royal family had its tail docked, and was considered to have a fair appearance, the little Corgi had its tail deliberately docked after birth.

In the breed standards of the American Kennel Club, it is stipulated for the Corgi's tail: "The tail should be as short as possible, and the cross-section must not be jagged." It is also stipulated: "Some Corgis have The tail is born short. In this case, if their tail legs are short enough, the tail can be connected. The correct length is 2 inches (5.1 cm), but if the tail is raised, it may destroy their integrity. surface."

The tail will make the butt look bigger and cuter. It doesn't matter if you have a dog at home. If you don't feel the need, it's also a good idea to raise a corgi with only a tail.
