Does the comment section know Welsh Corgi Pembrokes can be born without a tail I wonder? It's illegal to dock the tail in most countries and you still see Pembrokes without tails, half-tails and full tails. Cardigans always have full tails. The distant cousin to the Welsh Corgi, The Swedish Vallhund, can also be born with or without a tail.

This. Also, I think this was at one time a functional thing. To those who do not know, Corgis, believe it or not, are herding dogs. I had no idea they were herding dogs until I adopted a 7 month old pure bred Pembrok Welsh Corgi. The functionality is them not getting their tail stomped while herding. And their herding instinct is strong. Nothing gets past this little dog.

Some Pembroke Corgis are born without tails, but most have them docked since it is part of the breed standard.

Unless they were Beans' parents' owners, no.

Corgis tend to get docked within the first week after birth, and few people will part with a pup before 8 weeks.

I never understand how there are so many docked tails still. It's been illegal for years. Who is doing it?

Beans has been mutilated. You wouldn't happen to be responsible for that now, right?
