What characteristics do Purebred Corgi dogs have? The Corgi dog breed is currently attracting great attention in Vietnam because of its adorableness. However, one point that many dog buyers often wonder is whether Corgi dogs have tails or not. Let’s find out details about Inkpawarts through this article.
Does the Corgi Dog Have a Tail?
Corgis are famous for their short legs and adorable physique. Although many people know this image of Corgi, not everyone knows that Corgi has two separate lines. Coming from the UK, the Corgi was widely introduced when settlers in Wales brought the breed with them. There are two main breeds: Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and these two breeds have been officially recognized since 1934.
So, does Corgi have a tail? The answer depends on their breed. While the Pembroke Corgi usually has no tail or only a very short tail, the Cardigan Corgi has a long tail. This is the main difference between the two Corgi lines.
For the Cardigan Corgi, the long and curved tail, which can even touch the ground, is one of the outstanding features. For Pembroke Corgis, if they have a tail, the length of the tail usually does not exceed 5 cm according to the standards of the American Kennel Club (AKC). Some Pembroke Corgis are born with long tails, but are usually docked within a few days of birth. Although there is still controversy about tail docking, many people still prefer the Pembroke Corgi without a tail.
Does Corgi Having a Tail Affect Health?
First of all, whether Corgi dogs have tails or not really doesn’t affect their health.
The Cardigan Corgi naturally has a long tail, and that is part of the breed’s nature. They do not experience any health problems related to their tails.
As for Pembroke Corgis, although some are born with tails and can later be docked, this is not harmful to their health. Tail docking becomes part of the appearance standard for the breed in some countries, but it does not cause any health problems for the dog.
However, views on tail docking can vary and in some countries it is discouraged or even banned.
Corgi Are Cute?
Everyone can’t help but love Corgi dogs with their round appearance and short legs. Every time they move, their short, flexible legs and wagging tail add to their adorable appearance. Furthermore, their open faces, large, alert eyes, and features such as pink tongues and black noses make them even more attractive.
Although Corgis are cute, like any other dog breed, they also need care, love, and attention. Corgis are very active and need a lot of exercise. As long as you give them time and affection, Corgi will definitely become a trustworthy and loyal friend to you.
