They're hilarious. I have one, and one time I had to carry her 2 miles down a hiking trail because she's so lazy.
It's been covered, but yeah, they were bred to herd cattle, and are low to the ground so they can't get kicked easily, and have fairly sturdy heads for that reason as well. They also have relatively thick coats, so they can be outside in English winters. Mine rolls around in the snow like it's nothing, and will definitely attempt to herd unruly children. They're fairly stout despite appearances. It's a medium dog's head/body on stubby legs.
There are also tales that say they're faerie mounts, due to the saddle-like pattern they have over their backs/sides.

They're such strange looking dogs.
I mean, they have such large normal sized heads, with stumpy little bodies.
Why were they bred this way? What kind of use could a corgi be? I mean, I guess they're kind of cute. But still...
I dunno, something about them disturbs me. I both find them adorable and kind of intimidating. I can't process them
They are herding dogs. They were bred to be short so that cattle/horses, etc would have less of a chance to hit them when they kicked out. At least that is what I was told.
But only a little.
My dog can put on a similar dance if you're slow getting it in the bowl.

Oh definitely. Mine always seems to be crying for a treat. I tell her she at least needs to do a trick for one... then she does all the tricks she knows in a row. It's hilarious. My biggest complaint is how much she sheds, but she is such an awesome dog. Really great with my daughter as well.

Oh, and when mine was a little puppy, one of our neighbors thought we got a bunny and kept walking it on a leash. Haha..
It has.

The best dog I've ever had or met was a Corgi. RIP Rusty
That's what mine does. As soon as he knows I'm withholding a treat to make him do a trick, he does every trick possible. Spin in a circle, roll over, play dead for a second, attempt to shake, sit up, speak, then beg by sitting on his ass with his paws up.

From what I understand, they were bred for herding. Low center of gravity lets them cut faster and avoid getting trampled and kicked. And yes they're the most awesome dog ever in existence.

They're adorable, that's the deal.

It's so strange seeing one with a tail. Always makes me do a double take. Also, Pembroke > Cardigan.

My wife and I had a Welsh Corgi years ago.
Best dog I ever had. He was my buddy.
Unfortunately he got leukemia and passed away after about 5 years. Devastating for us.
We want another one, but we'd have to drive to a specific Corgi breeder about 250 miles away... and these little guys ain't cheap. Eventually we'll commit and just do it.

One time I went out to a field with my Corgi and had her "stay" on one end of the field. I then told her to come. Not only was it funny, but it was even funnier when she stopped halfway to take a rest.

I tear up just thinking about losing mine eventually. He's 10 now, but still active and no health issues, thankfully.

One of my favorite breeds of dog.
They're just delightful.

Actually, I'll take this opportunity to ask fellow corgi owners; how often and for how long do you brush?
Also, what brush do you use? Also, what shampoo? And often do you wash them?

At least Corgis don't look silly when they run
Don't diss the basset hound. they are awesome.

But they look stupid when they run.

I refer to them as the "half way dog".

It depends on the time of year. You pretty much NEED one of those shedding brushes to have a Corgi. They fucking shedshedshedshedshed. Washing depends on how fast they get gross. But you do need to take care to keep their bunny-butts clean or they'll have poop stuck to it.

My good friend has a corgi and I have a Lab, and they are total bros.
Dug is the name of the Lab, and Fidgit is the name of the corgi. Fidgit is a little over a year, and Dug is 1 1/2 years old.
