Thanks for all the corgi love on here. They really are a great breed if a bit challenging because, although very intelligent, they like to do things their own way. Meg is small for the breed, but very outgoing and confident. She has lots of other nicknames; at the dog park one of the regulars calls her "Queenie" because of the breed's association with HMQ, but mainly because she likes to be in charge.
As to the tail docking, they are still doing that in the US, but more and more breeders are stopping it. Our dog's tail is docked, but we got her at nearly a year old from a rescue organization so there wasn't a choice to be made.
Speaking of association with royalty, some of you all may know that in the US, Halloween is a very big deal, and often entire families dress up in themed costumes. The year that Will and Kate got married, there was a lot of interest in the RF. Our neighbors decided to go as the UK Royal Family, for which purpose, they asked to borrow our Corgi, Meg's predecessor who was a red and white, like the Queen's. She was the perfect accessory.
