I agree with the crowd. Besides, calling a corgi miniature or teacup makes them sound froofy and pitiful. These are dogs that were built with a muscular frame to dodge flailing hooves and round geese and duck out of the pond, not sit on some emperor's lap and exist merely to pet. Although our dogs may be as spoiled as the next's, they certainly retain their ability to do what they were bred for.
In regards to the dwarfism, I once read that Corgi's are among 1 of 3 original breed lines to bred for dwarfism. I can't remember the other original 2, for some reason I think it's the basset hound and dachund. That means the dandy dinmonts and scotties must have originated from one of the others? I don't know...Just thought I throw my 2 cents. ~Amanda
