Corgi Tail docking and etc.

Hello, I'm actually going to be trying to adopt a corgi but I heard most Corgi's are born with tails. I looked into some breeders who guarantee they dock tails and cut dew claws. Have you heard of any breeders who don't do this to corgis?
Preferably in Wisconsin? And, why is it so important? I don't plan to show my dog, but care for him and do my research about what he'll need.

I'm looking at breeds right now, and in one of them, tails are docked, but you sometimes see one with a natural tail. One breeder of this breed told me he will leave the tail, but pretty much under the conditions Tollerowner mentioned the Brittany breeder gave her. He also admitted that he would pick the puppy in the litter he considered the least (i.e., the one furthest from the standard to be met for a show prospect) for that person. I think what Tollerowner did - go for a different breed - is the best solution for someone who really wants a natural tail on a docked breed.
