Why do Corgis cut their tails? In the early days, the tail was broken to prevent the Corgi from being stepped on by cattle; the tail tends to expose itself when it meets the enemy, so a broken tail can hide itself; then gradually, everyone accepted the tail-less Corgi, thinking that the Corgi looks better without a tail, and many businessmen would cut the tail for the Corgi when it was first born. The first: survival needs Corgi was first used to enslave cattle. When a cow disobeyed, they would bite the cow’s ankles. To prevent the Corgi’s tail from being stepped on by the cattle, the Corgi used to watch over the cattle had to have its tail cut. Gradually, the Corgi became a pet dog, but this custom remained the same. The second: confuse the enemy, to protect their own dogs in the encounter with the enemy, the tail is particularly easy to reveal their identity, when their own danger will be greatly increased. Serious may lose their lives, so breaking the tail is good for the dog to hide themselves and confuse the enemy. To know when a dog fights, the tail can betray it, whether it is afraid or ready, or something else, after the broken tail, it will be some psychological emotions to hide it. This may be the historical reason why dogs break their tails. The third: for aesthetics Yes, you read that right, many dogs break their tails to make themselves look better and more in line with people’s aesthetics. This reason may sound a bit far-fetched, but it’s not. For aesthetic and spiritual reasons there are some breeds whose tails are purely aesthetic and playful, making the whole proportion more in line with our human aesthetics. This is what many people can not understand, now there are many dogs have said goodbye to the original work, the purpose of breaking the tail if only for the need of appearance, then break the tail is a kind of inhumane behavior, which has also generated a lot of controversy.
