Is the Corgi's tail天生 broken?

Usually, when mentioning Corgis, it refers to the Welsh Corgi. The tail of the Welsh Corgi is not born broken; it is usually caused by aesthetic reasons, which results from the tail being amputated after the birth of the Corgi. The Welsh Corgi was previously used for cattle herding, and to prevent the Corgi's tail from being stepped on by cattle, tail amputation surgery was usually performed at birth, also reducing the chances of the Corgi getting sick.

Work requirements

The Welsh Corgi was previously used for cattle herding. If the cattle became unruly, they would usually bite the cattle's ankles to remind them. The cattle would feel pain, and out of instinct, they might step randomly, causing harm to the Corgi's tail. To prevent this, tail amputation surgery was usually performed at birth.

Aesthetics

Due to the long body and short limbs of the Welsh Corgi, when they grow up, their buttocks are relatively large. Having a tail might affect their appearance. To satisfy human aesthetics, tail amputation surgery is performed on Welsh Corgis.

Reducing the incidence of diseases

Welsh Corgis like to sit on the ground, especially after defecating. If they don't have a tail, it is easy for their tail to get contaminated with feces, breeding bacteria and increasing the chances of sickness, which is not conducive to their health.

II. Precautions for Welsh Corgi Tail Amputation Surgery

Welsh Corgi tail amputation surgery usually involves using a rubber band to block the blood flow in the tail, causing the tail to fall off due to blood loss after about a week. During this time, the owner needs to disinfect the tail area daily to prevent bacterial invasion and infection.

III. Daily Care for Welsh Corgis

In daily life, attention should be paid to the hygiene care of Welsh Corgis. Regular baths, disinfection and cleaning of the kennel can effectively reduce the breeding of bacteria and parasites, avoiding the risk of sickness.
