Scout's feet have earned her a nickname thanks to my fiance.  He has called her "click-click" several times.  It's cute.

I had thought, before getting Ellie, that a corgi's feet would be like Yuki's feet.  I figured that, since both are white, you wouldn't really be able to see the individual toes unless they were "holding" something while chewing.  I was so wrong!  I find it fascinating that I can see each of Ellie's toes, even when she's laying down or just standing.  And while I do love her bunny butt, I also love her little corgi toes, too!

And boy are they heavy! My son and I figured out (after too many heavy-handed jumps to my solar plexus) that a corgi foot is approx. 1 sq. inch. Lilli weighs 23 lbs, so each foot weighs between 5 - 6 lbs. each. Ouch!

They are also very loud. We often hear "Thunder Paws" approaching at full speed during a frap or a run at the park.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way!   I love my corgis' feet: Betsy has dainty paws with beautiful white claws, while Fred has huge, manly paws with dark claws.   I think my family is getting tired of me commenting all the time about attractive their feet are, LOL.   I just love corgi claws--so strong and curved and badger-like, but I love the shape of their toes even more!  I'm so relieved to see this thread, as I was a bit worried that my feelings about corgi feet were abnormal.  I have to admit I haven't made a point of smelling them (yet).  My daughter heard me talking about this thread and she immediately said, "I agree--they *do* smell like corn chips!"  I'll have to check that out.    :-)

Oh! Yes! for sure! They always wear socks on. I don't know when they are going to take it off... LOL

I love it!

This is a great observation!  I feel the same way!  I love corgi feet!!!

I agree they have great feet and the way they use them is amazing!
