pembroke corgi = docked tail (has no tail)
cardigan corgi = no docked tail (has tail)
dunno why the corgi in the picture is called pembroke though.

No, they're two different breeds with different traits. Both have been docked in the past, but recently breeders have been letting them grow their tails naturally because of concern over animal rights. Pembroke and Cardigan are different breeds, so either one could potentially have docked or un-docked tails depending on the preference of the breeder.

Depending on the breed and show standards the tails are docked in various dog breeds. Many of these standards came from neccessity when utilizing the dogs for hunting. But this has been changing recently with laws and show rules that make tail docking and ear pinning illegal.

The reason the dog in the image is a pembroke is due to it's coloration. Cardigan corgies have a brindle or agouti coloration to them.

Also, some breeders in Great Britain have a "tailess" corgi which genetically has no tail. This variety of corgi was used to create a naturally tailess Boxer by breeders who wanted to preserve the short-tail boxer standard.

The hunting part doesn't apply to herding breeds.

It actually is a throwback from waaaay back in time there was a tax on dogs (in England I believe, but I could be wrong), but not on working dogs. Working dogs had to have their tails docked as proof of their profession. The style has simply continued as tradition.

As a Corgi owner, I can tell you that a good portion of Pembrokes have no or very little tail at birth. My corgi has a tail but it's only a quarter of an inch long. Laws are changing -- for example, tail docking is now illegal in England so expect tails.

The pembroke became popular as a herding dog, incidentally, because in wales a thousand years ago, only dogs with tails were taxed since most dogs are only useful for catching foxes and rabbits with their tail intact. Since pembrokes didn't have tails in the first place, they became popular since you didn't have to pay the tax.
