The editor's favorite dog is the corgi. With a round butt, a plump body, and short legs that wiggle adorably when walking. But did you know? Corgis actually have tails, so why do they dock corgis' tails? Today we will talk about the reasons for corgi tail docking and what benefits it has.

Reasons for Corgi Tail Docking

1.History

Don't look at the corgi's small size, round butt, and short legs. It was actually once used as a hunting dog. But because of their short legs, when herding, the corgi's tail could easily be stepped on by cattle or sheep and might get injured. To avoid unnecessary trouble, dog owners would dock the corgi's tail while it was still a puppy.

2.Aesthetic

The corgi's plump and round butt is considered one of the top three most heartwarming pet traits. Some surveys show that 60% of people keep corgis because they like their big, round butts. Tail docking makes the butt appear bigger, rounder, and cuter.

3.Preventing Fractures

Because the corgi's tail bone is very thin, doing some intense or high-risk activities can easily cause tail bone fractures, which can be life-threatening. In fact, tail docking is common not only for corgis but also for poodles, teddies, schnauzers, and dobermans.

4.Trend

Actually, there is another reason for corgi tail docking. The corgi sent to the British royal family was a docked corgi, so many people generally consider tail docking a trend. Thus, the custom of docking corgi tails became popular.

The editor thinks that if it's a pet kept at home, raising a corgi with a tail (detailed introduction) is also not bad. After the corgi's tail is docked, you will no longer see the corgi wagging its tail at you, isn't that a bit cruel?
