You know, I've known lots of corgis that have done just well with short walks or with running in their own back yards.

Corgis have proven to be good apartment dogs and sometimes owners can't walk the dog for a long time (sometimes 45 min. to an hour is too long for some owners.) Apt. dogs obviously get multiple walks a day to go potty, and multiple shorter walks are just fine too.

Corgis have not been known to be a breed known for needed tons of exercise. They are known for being a moderate needs dog.

And yes, they do enjoy going for walks, but it's just fine to adjust that to your time and ability and your dog's time and ability. There are no hard and fast rules.

I've found corgis to be very adaptable. They adjust to what they're owners want for the most part. There are some corgis that are very high energy, those from "working lines" and they might need more exercise than the "average" corgi. However, the "average corgi" from reputable breeders will adapt to what the owner needs them to.

I've also known dogs (and corgis too) that have never had the opportunity to be off leash outside of their own yards and they too have been just fine.

Again, there are many correct ways to raise corgis or dogs in general.
