Undocked Pembroke Shoutout!

Anyone else have an undocked (tailed) Pembroke Corgi?

I was lucky enough to talk to the breeders that I got Louie from when they were expecting their next litter. They said I'd have first pick since I bought Louie from them and I asked them if they could let me pick before they docked the tails. They were more than happy to work with me, and so Louie's little sister Zoe has a full tail!

The breeders didn't think that the tail was terribly desirable since it wasn't the breed standard, and I explained the Tale of the Pembroke Tail, and that the dock was purely cosmetic. To their surprise, before I could make the drive to pick up Zoe, almost everyone who came to look and purchase puppies from the litter wanted to pick Zoe first! The breeder practically had to lock her away so no one saw her or tried to take her!

I think undocked corgis are so adorable. They're so long and fluffy, and since corgis are almost always happy, it's always wagging! It goes perfect with their smiles. Makes them rather aerodynamic too, I think. Zoe is a speeding bullet and can jump much higher than her big brother.

And here's a video of Zoe enjoying her tail when she was a couple months younger, too. Unfortunately she doesn't do it anymore but she used to do it all the time! Only dog I know that can actually catch it, and still keep going!
