I have one of each... Brody will only cuddle once in a while for a short time, but Lilly is up on my lap every chance she gets (she and the cat have figured out how to share) and even if Brody is up on my lap she'll join right in, so once in a while it's a double corgi cuddle! But that's pretty rare

Duncan has his moments. He's not much of a cuddler. My first corgi was. Now, my chorgi loves nothing better to do than cuddle.

Read my blog on my first real cuddle with LO, that dog won't stay still. I have had him for 4 months and only recently got a good cuddle.

Some dogs like to cuddle far more than others. I have some that would lay on my lap for hours and others that want five minutes of recognition then they are off to other adventures. Most pups are happy to cuddle when they are sleepy and not so much when they are exploring the world. Only time will tell if your pup turns into a cuddler or not.

Winston will cuddle with me for about 10 minutes (if that) and then he gets up and usually goes and makes his own bed or lays on the floor or something. He's not much of a cuddler. Sometimes he is though. It just depends. But I wouldn't worry about it if he's not super-cuddly.

Our Ellie as a puppy would never cuddle and if you tried to cuddle her she would half heartedly growl and then get up and move away. Now she's 10 months and will cuddle but it's only on her terms, she really only does it when she knows I don't feel good then she cuddles really close and wont leave me alone. She still growls if I try to cuddle her and she doesn't want it though. My Yuki wasn't a cuddler either but she's two years old now and cuddles at night and when I take naps. I think the older they get the more they like to cuddle, just give it some time.

Finnigan is the same way. He cuddled with me on the 7 hour drive home the day we picked him up but he was only 8 weeks old and had just had a shot so he probably didn't feel well. The older he got, the more independant he seemed. When he wanted to nap he'd go off by himself, he didn't want to be in bed with us or on the couch. He was the sweetest when he was extremely sleepy. :) Now he is 5 months old and is starting to get more lovey. He likes to climb in my lap to chew his toys and lay under my legs while I'm on the couch. My parents have a 1 year old Cardi and he loves to cuddle so I'm sure all of our puppies will get their with age. :)

Im in the same boat as you are. I had expected a cuddly pup but I have to sneak up on her when she is totally out of it and snuggle up next to her. She is very attentive and smart. She learned her commands at a very young age and loves to learn and do tricks. But cuddling..not so much....lol Im not sure if the non cuddly thing is a Corgi trait but thats what Ive got too! Maybe when they get older? Time will tell.
