What do you really call a Pembroke Welsh Corgi's Tail???

Is there even an official name to it? If so, please tell me!!! I have no clue what the real name is. Yes, it's this thing:

 
And no, not the butt. The round docked tail! Before, I was thinking and looked in a dictionary and it showed "Stubby- Short or docked tail or object."  Is that it? Or could it be another name such as, stub, nub, etc. Any ideas? If you get another name or if you gather the official name, please tell me what it is in the comments below. The question is so confusing, even Peanut doesn't know the answer.


Stubbies are quite cute though. Let's say, when I come back from the grocery store, Peanut runs up to me and starts moving his stubby side-to-side as if it were still a tail. If Pembroke Welsh Corgis are so loved(and Cardis), then, why don't their little, docked tails have a name??? I don't really know if I am wrong about PWCs not having tails, but oh well!

  4. Yes, they're called 'nubs'... kinda cute. A friend of mine had a corgi that she named Nubbins! Picasso doesn't have a nub, he just has a big butt :) ... I guess they docked him really closely?

  10. Nub or nubbin over here. Ginger's nub is non-existent except for when she's excited. She must have been docked very closely. Or are corgis ever born without a tail?

    It's so cute to see her little backside muscles moving back and forth wagging that invisible tail.
