Corgis were originally used as cattle dogs, specifically to disperse cattle. Because during the early capitalist "enclosure movement", a lot of land had no owners. In order to own more land, British farmers used corgis to disperse cattle and sheep so that the cattle and sheep could travel farther. , to own more land. Corgi dogs usually bite the heels of cattle and sheep to make cattle and sheep run away. Of course, there will be times when the cattle and sheep are angered, at which time the cattle and sheep will use their powerful hind hooves to nudge the Corgi dog. At this moment! The Corgi’s short legs come into play!
Because it is short, if you have no time to dodge, you can lie down on the ground to avoid the angry hooves! But if the tail is still very high, on the one hand, it increases the chance of being kicked, and on the other hand, it increases the risk of getting entangled in the grass. Therefore, farmers at that time would dock the tails of Corgis. There were strict regulations on the tail docking time. Generally, the end of the dog's tail was tightly wrapped with a rope so that the tail would die and fall off automatically due to lack of blood circulation. Later, dog breeds became an industry. Corgis had no tail and a big butt became a sign of good appearance. In fact, pet dogs no longer need to herd cattle and sheep. Let them suffer less and keep their big tails.
