The Welsh Corgi is much more than just a social media star. Behind its short legs is a clever, charming dog with a great spirit of adventure. It is small, long, fluffy, and has a rear end that enjoys cult status. Corgis delight as herding professionals, family dogs, or little entertainers with their zest for life, humor, and unwavering charm. They are little whirlwinds that can be cheeky, loving, and stubborn all at once. Anyone who knows a Corgi knows how easily they capture everyone’s heart.

Royal Paws and Legendary Booty
Corgis have royal connections: Over 30 corgis roamed the halls of Queen Elizabeth II’s palaces, some stealing more screen time than certain royal side characters. But corgis aren’t just a pretty sight. Originally bred as herding dogs, they skillfully darted under cattle legs to guide the herd. They’re the perfect example that size doesn’t determine talent.
And then, of course, there’s the famous corgi booty: round, fluffy, and wiggly. It’s one reason even the least active among us suddenly feel motivated to go for walks with these little whirlwinds. Whether Pembroke or Cardigan, each has its own charm—and each decides for themselves who earns a spot in their heart.
Four-Pawed Communication Experts
Corgis are true masters of communication. They hum, squeak, grunt, and whine as if commenting on the world around them. Their expressions are so vivid, you can almost read their thoughts. This blend of intelligence, stubbornness, and zest for life makes them perfect family dogs. Athletic and agile outdoors, affectionate and attentive indoors. Agility, trick training, or a spontaneous walk—adventure is what matters most!
Health & Care: Fluffy, but Handle with Care
Despite their sturdy nature, Corgis require careful care, especially due to their unique body shape. Their long spines and short legs make them prone to back issues such as herniated discs. Stairs and high jumps should therefore be avoided in daily life. Corgis also love food and can easily become overweight, which puts extra strain on their joints and back. Hip dysplasia and eye problems can also occur. A balanced diet, plenty of exercise, and regular vet check-ups are essential to give these little whirlwinds a healthy and active life.
Beneath a Corgi’s fluffy double coat lies a full grooming routine, as they shed heavily. Anyone wanting to survive “Corgi season” in their home should brush their dog regularly—once or twice a week, and ideally daily during shedding periods. With consistent grooming, their coat stays healthy, and these little whirlwinds can romp through life active, happy, and full of joy.
Make Adventures Safe: The TARIGS Dog Backpack
Corgis are natural adventurers, but their sensitive joints have limits. To avoid overstraining them on long hikes, steep stairs, or challenging terrain, a back-friendly transport solution is invaluable.
This is where the TARIGS Dachshund Backpack comes in. It’s specially designed for dogs with long backs and short legs. The fit protects the spine, ensures optimal weight distribution, and provides a safe and comfortable ride.
For smaller or shorter Corgis, the Maxi size is recommended. Larger, longer Corgis need the Extra Wide Dachshund Backpack (XL), with back length being key for an ergonomic fit. With a TARIGS Dog Backpack, you combine a sense of adventure with health-conscious care, ensuring your little whirlwind can enjoy every outing to the fullest.
