Yay corgi with its tail still attached

EDIT: Yes, Pembroke tails are very much docked. Here's the AKC breed standard. Search for "Tail - Docked" for confirmation.

Pembroke welsh corgis have no tail. They're not docked, it happens naturally. Cardigan welsh corgis have a tail. They are two separate dog breeds.

Completely untrue on every single level. Pembrokes are docked. I owned one.

You're literally commenting on a photo of an undocked Pembroke lol seriously did you put any thought into this at all

Here's confirmation if you really need it since you apparently didn't even google a basic fact before barfing nonsense into a reply: https://stumpsandrumps.com/corgi-tails/

That is the first time I have seen undocked corgis. Omg why are they docked? 😭 Their tails are so beautiful.

I think it originated as a safety thing, since corgis are herding dogs—but your average corgi is a pampered house pet and not working the stables anymore, so the breed standard is a little outdated and (imo) cruel.

I know. The breeder I got mine from (first dog, only do rescues now) said his was NOT docked but when we got there, it was docked. Was bummed, but obviously I wasn't letting that cutie go.
