I think the other thing here is that corgi puppies are not filled out yet, so the distance from the chest to the ground appears to be higher than when they get older and the chest fills out, giving an even shorter look to the legs. When Dillon stands his chest is so deep it gives the appearance of really short legs. And yes, some corgis do have longer legs, and some shorter. If you look at photos of the original corgis back in the 1930's you will see they stood taller - to me they look more like the valhund dogs...even in coloring, which was not really a red but more like a grey sable...so it appears. I find it really fascinating to look at those old pictures and compare them to today's corgis...
