Why cut off Corgi's tail?

    Corgis are undeniably one of the most adorable dog breeds out there, with their short legs and expressive faces.

    One characteristic that sets them apart from other breeds is their docked tails.

    Have you ever wondered why corgis have docked tails ？

    In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons behind this practice.

1.Cattle herding

Hundreds of years ago, the Corgi was a cattle dog that helped herders herd cattle.

Being short, the Corgi was always in between the legs of the cows and could only drive them away by biting their legs.

However, the cows also tend to step on the Corgi's large tail, resulting in injuries to the Corgi's tail.

So the herdsmen decided to break the Corgi's tail from a young age to avoid the Corgi being stepped on by the cows while herding them.

2. Short legs

Corgis are naturally short-legged and their large tails often rub against the ground, making them prone to problems with broken bones.

Although Corgi's body looks fleshy, it is a solid small dog.

Being a small dog, Corgi has a large tail similar to that of a medium-sized dog.

As you can imagine, when Corgi is walking, his large tail is like a broom, constantly sweeping the ground.

If don't break the Corgi's tail, its big tail can be easily injured, and in serious cases, it can even be fractured, endangering the dog's life.

3. Ornamental

Corgi's have a nice ass and a broken tail helps to enhance the ornamental look.

This is part of the modern aesthetic view that corgis look better without tails.

For a long time, Corgi breaks its tail after birth and is mistakenly thought to be born without a tail.

Indeed, when the corgi walks, the buttocks twist and turn, buttocks cut a "love heart" will look better.

Many pet stores recognize this business opportunity and cut off the tail of Corgi when they breed it.

4. Convenient to take care of

Corgi's big tail always sweeps the dirt on the floor, and it's easy to clean up after it's broken.

Come to think of it, Corgi's big tail is really annoying, easy to sweep their own excretion of urine and feces.

When Corgi lifts its hind legs when peeing, it looks as if it didn't lift them, but it will still wet its tail.

If you catch Corgi with diarrhea, you can't look at his big tail with diluted poop on it.

Therefore, if cut off your Corgi's tail, all these troubles will disappear.
