So, I know the US doesn't have any standard for undocked dogs. The UK and AUS have the statement, "Set in line with topline. Natural carriage above topline when moving or alert."
The Cardigan standard is a little more in-depth in the UK and AUS, and much more in-depth for the US which states, "set fairly low on body line and reaching well below hock. Carried low when standing or moving slowly, streaming out parallel to ground when at a dead run, lifted when excited, but never curled over the back. High tail set is a serious fault."
Does anybody know if non-English language standards that do not allow tail docking (such as Finnish or Swedish) list what the Pembroke tail is supposed to be shaped like--something similar to the Cardigan US standard? I am just curious, because from these three standards, is an undocked Pem supposed to have a curled tail, a straight tail, or nine tails stemming from one base?
Or, if you don't know the standards, what kind of tail do you see undocked Pems as having, how long is it, etc?

That looks like a great physique for a dog, to me. Sometimes, in dark, repressed, guilty moments, I almost wish my dogs had slightly longer legs -- I manage to catch myself just in time.
Anne Pinkerton here has a dog something like that -- a Border Cardi mix.
Ah! I am looking at corgis like crazy and I know it's the smart choice for the lifestyle I will have for the next 10 years but I would love me a big huge leggy friend! I dont doubt I'll end up with one corgi and one German Shepard in 7 years.
When I saw this I had my husband run in to see what our Wynne would look like with a tail.
Then I said, "WAIT a minute... That is AL!" I know Al does not have a tail.
John fooled me for a second. Then I read the caption on the picture from April 1st. Cute!
Wynne and Al sure look alike. They would have had some pretty puppies if they were not both neutered.
