A reader asked me why I have no tail. Mommy did some checkings and learned that Pembroke Corgi dogs traditionally are cattle herders, and their farmer people wanted to keep their tails out of the way, so they docked them. Over time, us Pembrokes started being bred to have no tail at all. Sometimes we are born with little tails and people dock them, but many of us never have any tail. I never had a tail, which is good, because Mommy says she doesn’t like docking tails on cute little dogs. There is another kind of Corgi that does have a tail. It is called a Cardigan.
My Mommy’s friend found this sticker for me. I likes having no tail. It makes it easier for me to sit on a roomba friend—or on the Molly!
Hi Ty,
Having no tail makes you a cute little wiggle butt! Me and Banjo have wee tails, mom calls them our “nubbins”. BOL
Wags & wiggles,
Bijou
Your little bottom was perfectly made for sitting on a Roomba!
the breeder that had me before my mom, made the vet dock my tail, so i only have a short tail. it wags really fast when i’m happy. mom says she wouldn’t have docked my tail.
I likes having a tail, but I think you’re cute with no tail, too. Did you know that I have feathers? No, really! I thought only birds have feathers, but Mommy & Daddy told me that the really long fur on my legs and tail is called “feathers”. I think my humans are very confusing sometimes. But I do like my feathers, except when I get burrs stuck in them and Mommy has to brush them out. Does the Molly have feathers?
Zena, I don’t think I have feathers. All I have is a bunch of gray hairs!
Molly, did you get some of your gray hairs from Ty? Daddy says he got some of his from me, but I don’t understand that because I’m not missing any of mine.
I wuvs that sticker!!!
