It’s all fluff. (via juliareinstein8 / pcacorgis)

Nope, it’s not all fluff!

As someone who owns a corgi mix (with a smaller breed, so his healthy weight is more around 20lbs), corgis are buff little dudes. The breed is ‘compact’, or putting it another way, they are the Fantasy Dwarves of the dog universe – short but not lightweight or skinny. Their proportions are different from a lot of other ‘small dog’ breeds because they weren’t actually bred down to be small, they were bred down to have shorter legs. 

A healthy corgi is subsequently always going to have a barrel chest and a tummy that looks ‘big’. Also, fun aside – because of this they are really frigging strong. Way stronger than most people expect. Mo has surprised a lot of friends who mistake him for just being ‘fluffy’ and go to pick him up or play with him, only to discover that he is in fact the Hercules of small dogs.
