Why do Pomeranians often lose hair?

Corgis were first used to work cattle. When a cow is disobedient, they bite its ankles. At this time, the cows will feel pain and they will step on them randomly. In order to prevent the Corgi's tail from being stepped on by the cows, the tails of the Corgis used to look after the cattle need to be docked. Gradually, Corgi became a pet dog, but this custom remains unchanged.
And everyone also thinks that after Corgi’s tail is docked, his butt will look bigger and better looking. The American Kennel Club's dog standards also stipulate that the Corgi's tail needs to be as short as possible, the cross-section needs to be regular, and the buttocks must be plump.
So, do all Corgis need to have their tails docked? The answer is of course no. There are two situations where corgis do not need to have their tail docked.
The first situation is, of course, if the owner doesn’t want to dock the Corgi’s tail. He doesn’t need to do it. Of course, his pet only thinks it looks good.
The second situation is that some Corgis may be born with docked tails after continuous breeding.
Then this Corgi doesn’t need to have its tail docked. Finally, let’s introduce how to dock Corgi’s tail. Many people refer to Corgi tail docking as "tail docking" because they think the Corgi's tail is docked. Some people say that if they don’t know how to dock a Corgi’s tail, they should go to a pet hospital and have it done by a veterinarian.
Of course it is a good idea to go to the pet hospital, but Corgi’s tail docking is not that troublesome. You only need to tie the little Corgi's tail tightly with a rubber band within a week of its birth to make it necrotic, and then it will fall off naturally, and the Corgi will not suffer any pain.
