Welcome Matt. Snickers is a tri color. In corgis that means they are black, red and white, or black, tan and white. (Yeah, it looks orange sometimes but we call it red.)

She is kind of a shy pup, she kind of keeps to herself, she will play on and off, and is overall happy at the normal points (after going potty, after a good long walk, playing with every other dog ect). But when she meets new people and stuff even people she has seen alot she is very shy, and just follows me or my gf and hides(who she lives with half the time when im at work, and there is another dog she gets to play with there). How when she is at my GFs house she plays she is wild she barks she is very happy, bossing around the big dog and just having a blast, but at my house she is very calm and kinda keeps to herself. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make her more cumfy. Also we do give her space and dont smuther her to much at the house.

Try this list:
shy-k9s : shy-k9s
Dogs like people have different personalities, and some are not as comfortable around other dogs and people as the average corgi would be. The norm for Pembrokes is that they are outgoing and like to meet and greet. Cardis as a breed are more reserved.
Personally, if she's calm and not worried, I'd not worry too much. Maybe she just likes living with your girlfriend better (sorry!)? Some corgis are more of a man's dog and some are more of a ladie's dog. Maybe Snickers is a ladies dog and prefers to be with your girlfriend.
And yes, I know how that feels. My husband and I bought a corgi from a breeder I know in Denver. She arrived in SLC by plane. She was susposed to be for me, but well, she came out of the crate and fell in love with my husband. She adored him and well, as for me, yeah, I was ok, but she was not "my" dog. She much prefered to be with him.
Could be the same thing here. She's ok with you, minds, etc. but prefers your girlfriend.
