Have to disagree with you there, Michael. Any critter's back, humans included, has more sideways and forwards bend than backwards. Just do some forwads and backwards and sideways bending for yourself and you'll soon see. We all know that corgis tend to do more damage to their backs jumping down from things eg beds etc, that from jumping up. But they can bend around sideways and lick their boy/girl bits without too much trouble, unless overweight.
And the low centre of gravity has to be of help when weaving. There's not the same inertia to overcome that dogs with long legs have.
