If I remember correctly, border collies etc tend to do the weave at a bit of a crouch ie to lower their centre of gravity. But corgi's weave while in a normal running stance. This would suggest that weaving is more natural to corgis than it is to taller dogs.

Makes sense really - if a corgi can't weave damned fast, she's gonna get massively kicked upside the head by all those nasty, big steers she's herding.
