wiggly jiggly doggy butt

This dog uses 137 muscles to aww you with its cute butt.
Not to put a damper on our fun here, but that looks like hip dysplasia. Healthy dogs don't walk like that.

i had this toy fire truck when i was a kid
it was a ladder truck
it was so long that it had a little cab in the back with a big steering wheel so someone could steer the rear wheels when it turned
corgis are that fire truck

Something about the shading on der floofen's ass reminds me of an Olive Baboon's face. Corgis have a distinct waddle but I think this one has hip issues (arthritis or dysplasia.)

Docking tails and cropping ears should be illegal. Tails and ears are dogs' primary modes of communication.

Tail may not have been docked.

The pembroke breed does carry a bobtail gene, so there's no way of knowing whether this particular corgi is docked or a bobtail. I've no idea about its incidence though.
Fun facts: the bobtail gene in pembrokes (and vallhunds!) is dominant but inheriting two copies of it seems to be lethal in utero, so if you meet a naturally bobtailed pembroke or vallhund (or other breeds with the same mutation), you can get down on a knee and say "Who's heterozygous for a C189G mutation? Who's only got one copy of that gene?" while you scrobble it behind the ears.

I say the same thing about that dog as I say about my cat: With solid floof from tail to toe, they must have gone on a mining expedition to determine its sex.
The only reason I know my cat is male is because the shelter said so on his papers. I'm just taking their word for it.

Corgis seldom have an intact tail.
The tail can be missing because it is naturally docked, surgically docked, or has been wagged off.

The little blobs they have provide the great service of being modesty-flaps. Glancing, it looks like pembrokes with tails often have spitz tails, in which case let me assure you that you would be well-acquainted with its butthole.
Also bitches in heat like to basically stare at you with their vulvas. Giant, wibbly, swollen vulvas, quivering gelatinously at you like the Eye of Sauron imagined by Lovecraft. You may wonder, does it go back to normal when the heat cycle ends? *bitter laughter*

Oh please, when you own a spitz breed, looking at, thinking about, and talking about the dog's anus is routine after about a week.
That big, bushy, adorable tail curls right up over their back whenever they're happy or excited or pooping or getting ready to poop or GODDAMIT DOG I CAN SEE THE POOP ACTIVILY COMING OUT OF YOUR POOP HOLE! ANY PLACE IS FINE JUST STOP WASTING TIME AND POOP ALREADY!
Akitas, like mine, tend to be fastidious by nature. Usually this means that she is like a cat in the amount of time spent cleaning herself and that's great. But it also means that she is kind of particular about where she poops. It has to be far enough away and then meeting some other group of criteria that, if her behavior is any indicator, is VERY specific and detailed.
FWIW, she will also wiggle her floofy butt when she is really excited like it's an extension of her tail. Combined with walking, it looks almost exactly the same as this Corgi's waddle. I KNOW my dog's hips are healthy (often an issue with large dogs) and between it being a smaller dog and a breed with stubby legs, I think that dog's hips are just fine.
