1. Why are Welsh Corgis short?
The readon why Welsh Corgis have short legs like their fellow short legged friend Dachshunds, is becouse of Developed dyschondroplasia.
The short legs of Welsh Corgis were a significant advantage when herding cattle. Because of their low height, they could swiftly move between the legs of the cattle.
Short legged dogs have very weary joints, The Welsh Corgis are likely to develop herniated disk due to their long waistline, Their legs are also prone to develop arthritis, So their joints need to be monitored closely.
2. Talented Cattle Dog
The correct full name of Welsh Corgi is Pembroke Welsh Corgi. That’s because they’re from Pembroke, Wales.
(*Since 1930, Welsh Corgis have been divided into two types, Cardigan Welsh Corgis and Pembroke Welsh Corgis. The ones commonly seen in Korea are Pembroke Welsh Corgis.)
Welch Corgi’s shined as cattle dogs in Pembroke farms, They are said to lightly bite a cow’s heels to surprise the cows.
Cattle dogs, that herd numerous cows or sheep Are known to be very smart Smart enough to overcome troubles on their own Welsh Corgi’s are smart enough to come 11th on dog intelligence test.
3. Welsh Corgi has a Tail?
The short tail and the bread-like loaf-butt Has become defining features of the Welsh Corgis.
But that’s because of docking, the cutting of tails So unless they’re born with short tails genetically, Most Welsh Corgis are born with long and fluffy tail.
Welsh Corgis got their short tail because While they worked as cattle dogs, Their tails would get stepped on or Bitten and hurt by cows from time to time.
However, although the Welsh Corgi are mostly bred as pets
so there’s no need for them to cut their tails these days, but their tails get cut off because some people like it that way.
4. Why they should’t cut tails?
Docking is when a dog’s tail is amputated off, It’s usually done when a puppy is about a week old.
Some claim that a puppy’s nerves are yet to be fully developed And therefore don’t feel pain, However, it’s a groundless claim.
In fact, RSPCA Australia, a animal cruelty prevention orginasation says that Puppies are born with their senses fully developed, And therefore, feel extreme pain during docking.
Also, dogs use their tail to communicate And docked dogs loose that crucial communication tool So it’s best not to cut a dog’s tail.
