Corgis have become quite the hot topic these days, stealing hearts with their cute personalities and figure. Their little legs and round fluffy butt are imperative to their signature traits. But why else are they so cute?
Corgis have so many cute characteristics it is hard to write down all the things that make them so. Their little bodies and big personalities make them so easy to fall in love with.
Although the list could go on forever, here is the narrowed-down list of why corgis are cute and why you, too, will fall in love with them if you haven’t already.
Why Are Corgis So Cute?
1. They Are A Smaller Breed
Although corgis are not the smallest breed around, they are smaller than many other breeds. This not only makes them cute but makes them a better fit for more people.
You can have a corgi in an apartment and not worry about them not having enough space to run around. Plus, being smaller makes it easier for them to sit in your lap and cuddle with you.
You don’t have to worry about them jumping up on you and pushing you over like larger dogs. They aren’t going to just barrel through without realizing their size.
You also don’t have to worry about being too rough or stepping on them because they are big enough. They aren’t like those small little dogs you sometimes don’t see at your feet.
2. The Corgis’ Signature Butt
It may seem a little weird, but the corgis’ signature fluffy bottom has become what they are known for. You can find funny videos of their bottoms dancing or even find stickers.
The round butt and short tail just make you want to squeal with cuteness overload. It doesn’t help when they look back at you with that big personality, even if it seems more like disapproval than a smile.
The cutest thing to see when it comes to a corgi is them walking away from you with that sway of their fluffy butt. It may be them dismissing you, but it is so cute that it doesn’t even hurt your feelings!
3. They Are Fluffy
Corgis have longer fur than short-haired breeds that are thick and fluffy. This makes them squishy and fun to hug. It also adds to the cuteness.
Their hair gives them a round-like aspect often associated with cute animations and other cute things like those cute little squishmellows. You can’t deny that their fluffiness doesn’t add to their huggability.
4. They Make Great Cuddle Buddies
A corgis fluffiness and size make them the perfect cuddle buddy. They won’t take up your entire bed (maybe), and you can lie down with them.
If you don’t want them in your bed, they don’t take too much room on the couch. You can cuddle with them while you watch your favorite shows or whatever else you like to do to relax.
Although they have a lot of energy, corgis do like to relax. They aren’t over-abundant with energy like a boxer or husky. They will lie down with you and enjoy a good cuddle session.
5. Those Short Little Legs
Those short little legs of theirs seem like something out of a story. It just seems crazy that those stout little bodies would have such short legs!
But those short legs give them personality and make them so cute. They are short and stout, and watching them trot towards you is the cutest thing ever. Who wouldn’t want such a dog running into their arms?
6. Their Intelligence
Corgis are a smart breed. They are a herding dog, so they need a higher level of intelligence to do this job. It’s just one of the character traits.
Their intelligence makes them cute. It is almost as if they easily understand you when you talk to them. And don’t forget those little glances they give you, as if scolding you for something.
It’s almost as if you are dealing with a little toddler that will surprise you with their intelligence while somehow shaming you for treating them like they don’t know something. How can you not find that cute?
7. They Have So Much Energy
Because corgis are herding dogs, they have a lot of energy. Some people may think that this doesn’t make them cute, but it actually does.
Watching a short-legged puppy running around with its tongue out and its nub of a tail wagging is a sight to behold. That energy just makes them so cute, and you can’t help but smile when you watch a corgi play around.
8. They Are Easy To Train
Intelligence doesn’t always equate to being easily trained, but that is the case for a corgi. They are easy to train and are quite smart.
You will find that your corgi will catch on quickly. The more you train them, the more they will learn, and it is a great mental workout for them to help with their high energy levels.
You may find them learning so many tricks that you’ll need to search for what else to teach them. That is how easy they are to train!
9. Their Sassy Personality
With all those attractive traits, their sassy personality just adds to it. As a herding dog, they know they need to be bossy. This goes the same even when they aren’t herding anything.
They love to tell you what is on their mind and tell you what they want. They will let you know if you made them happy, and they are the masters of the sassy “side-eye” that you often get from a disappointed toddler.
10. They Are Sociable
Corgis are great social dogs. They love to interact with other dogs and animals. They are even good with children.
They love being the center of attention, which is best given when socializing. They can show off that sassy personality and love the adoration they get from it.
Although corgis are friendly, they may not want to come home to many pets and children. Their temperament makes it easy for them to cope with this, but each corgi is different, and some like to be alone at home.
11. Their Tail
Their tails just add to their cute appearance. They have a fluffy butt that sometimes consumes their small little tail, and it just makes them cuter.
The best part is seeing those little nubs of a tail wagging when they are happy to see you. Small, short things are always so cute, which goes for their tail.
You also don’t have to worry about a long tail knocking things over from the table. One, they are too short in height to have their tail reach things on a side table, and two, the tail is too short to do any damage.
Conclusion
Corgis just have so much to offer that makes them all around cute. It doesn’t help that they are short and small, but their big personality adds to it.
Corgis have so much to offer, and when you get to know their unique personality, you can’t help but squeeze them. But ensure that they approve of the hug. They will let you know if they don’t want it.
