Could someone please tell what "frapping" is or should I ask?

Because I am new to the Corgi world and have absolutely no idea...

Haha, my breeder has this on her website. Apparently she attended with the rest of the MyCorgi crew. I love the frapping and playfights in it!

yes, I shot that video, it was from the florida corgi picnic last year, a few members here attended the event.

I wanted to find who shot that! You did such a good job filming. Not many people are able to keep up well with moving targets. Most the time the cameras do the woosh blur and then focus. But you did it so well that there was no blurring.

Eeee! That video is one of my absolute favorites.

My husband and I watched this last night. We want to come!!! It looks like so much fun. We have never seen so many corgis. Great job, Sam We loved seeing how 2 Corgis would play together and sort of bounce of each other.

I have no clue what it means. I call it "They're going frantic" or "spaz moments". I love to watch our two dogs do it. They make the funniest noises when they go at it. I have no clue why dogs do it. All breeds do. We have a Corgi and a Borzoi who both do it. It's so cute!

I didn't know that it had a name. I just thought she was being energetically goofy. My 5 year old still does this several times a day when someone comes home from work.

Heh. We have nice carpet so Chloe gets lots of traction. She runs in our living room and dining room since there is an opening between the two. Its like a firgure 8. For Chloe, its more like a track. It sounds like a bull running with the sound of her grunts and her running so fast on the carpet. She does this whenever she is out and free to run.

Wow that's a different from what we thought ....We thought "frapping" was the noise she makes when she wakes up in the morning or after a nap - ginja shakes her head and he big ears "frapp" ! LOL

We call it "laps" as well...running round the couch and coffee table faster and faster is a favorite past time

We call it laps, too! Frank is such a spaz that he'll do it (he's a 1.5 years) and then just flop down and look at us with a huge grin. Usually he's trying to get us to chase him. :D

Wow, I've never heard of the term, and I've never seen a puppy do this until I got my Dax. I thought he was just hyper! He'll just run laps around the house and stop all at once and just lay there for a while. I know it's entertaining for me, and it looks like he's enjoying himself, so I just let him go!
