Me too, but then many of the corgi owners that I know said that they have some back problems (wich doesn't exactly suprise me). My heart would broke if I had a corgi and it would get sick... They are so lovely and happy and cute little creatures.

one of my co-workers owns a corgi. says she's had him just shy of 10 years with no back/leg problems so far. Says he's super playful and happy.

I want one. BADLY

Some people tell me that they have back problems, and some tell they don't. Obviously not every dog is going to have these issues, and obviously it's more unlikely when the dog gets enough excercise and is not obese. But they are prone to there problems, aren't they? Like rotties have hip dysplasia etc. I just don't want to see another dog suffering, some I'm not going to get a dog that is quite likely to get sick.

Where I live corgis are popular among the people who work with horses, so I've come to heard a few sad stories about them. But I bet there's a lot of corgi owners here. Do you know many corgis? Are they healthy? I'd appreicate some real information if anyone could bother to share some. Only thing I have is rumors.

Google is your friend. Look at the Corgi entry on Wikipedia, or better yet, the AKC.

Well, I just want a dog that has the best chances to live a long healthy life. If what I said about corgis isn't true, well that would be really good. I understand that all dogs get problems when they get old, but some dogs easily have problems before that. Ever watched two of your dearest pets suffer and die at young age, and there was nothing really that you could have done? Every dog dies and I OBVIOUSLY accept that too.

I asked in here, because I though there might be some corgi owners who would have some information on not only one but few of these dogs. I've read info about corgis, of course, since I want one. Sometimes it's just that actual dog owners can give you good tips and info that you wouldn't get otherwise. But I guess people here are mostly a bit too young.

Oh, have a puppy pic too

It isn't a matter of being too young. Many people have them as children.
Here corgis are rather rare. But being part of the horse community I've crossed a corgi or two.
I know the local horse dealer had one that was as old as hell. Obese too as people constantly visited and fed the 'cute little dog'. He was arthritic, but as far as problems I could see none.
All animals are prone to structural problems, especially purebloods. Pomeranians are prone to problems with joints 'if they have strenuous activity on their developing joints'. As hyper as poms are..yeah.

Look at the parents or have the dog checked over by a vet. Often backyard breeders breed indiscriminately, which naturally makes them more prone to problems.
Though some of the characteristics show breeders go for...ehem.

By that "too young" bit I acutally meant more of the quality of the answers than the actual amount of the information. Every time I ask things like this here, like about the health of some breed, people seem to be offended. I just think that it is best for me and best for the dog if it has better chances.

Yes, all dogs are prone to there problems, but the fact is that some are more than others. I've read some books about dog breeds and visited some sites that have info about corgis, but I don't think there is such a thing than 'too much information'. That's why I asked /an/.

Still, thanks for your answer.

>>104769
Yes, I would never buy a puppy that wasn't coming from a respectable breeder.

Well, back to corgi cuteness.
