Our babies have legs even a little bit longer than your little Eins' - they're like the supermodels of corgis. :)
Every time someone lays eyes on them, they say "Are you sure they're full blood Corgis?" in a way that seems to imply I've been "taken" by a disreputable breeder. One of the things I liked about the breeder we got them from is that she was more humane and more inclined to love the breed in general, and not as concerned with doing away with certain attribute variants just b/c they varied from AKC standard.
Don't get me wrong - I love the short, stubby little Corgis! :) But I love my little guys too, even though they don't look like your standard example of the breed. And I love seeing those old photos of Queen Elizabeth with the longer-legged Corgis. Thanks for postng 'em!
I think even well respected breeders can occasionally have a leggy corgi, it happens. A breeder on another site I visit owns a farm and actively works her dogs, and she intentionally breeds for a slightly longer legged dog. It can also happen very easily when someone breeds two dogs together without considering their structural weaknesses.
Supposedly an early neuter/spay can also create a more leggy looking dog, but from what I've read the difference should be negligible. Either way I don't think being a bit leggy is going to have any impact on their health or anything like that.
