Backflipping Corgi
Anyone else catch this video? And I think that might be a natural bobtail too.

I am guessing he might just do it on his own; it is possible to teach dogs to back-flip, but not easy, and pairing it with the particular cue of shoveling would seem to be pretty hard. I think the dog gets so excited chasing the flying snow he just jumps on his own.

Don't try this at home, kids! Looks dangerous. I'm serious!

Jack likes to do a handbrake skid on the tile floor (plants his front feet and tucks his hind end) and bash into the wall when he's chasing a ball. I would have thought that was bad for him too. But dogs are pretty amazing athletes and while they can get hurt performing anything, the fact is that many more dogs are damaged each year by being obese couch potatoes than by getting out there and doing hard activity. This particular Corgi looks fit and trim compared to the huge majority I've seen--- sorry to say but most of the Corgis I've met outside our own are fat little butterballs.

I agree Beth...so many people talk about their corgis not looking like mine...yup theirs are usually overweight:(
Some are in denial also!

Al & Gwynn slide into the kitchen cabinets chasing the tennis ball, caroming about like hockey players. Al *almost* does backflips when chasing the vacuum. I don't encourage this; it looks scary.
Al was just under 25 lbs. We kenneled him with the breeder briefly, and she said he could carry maybe another pound. So he's going to have to eat a little more, whether he likes it or not.

there is a corgi in our San Diego group who does this, only she does it when a big rubber ball is tossed at her, she'll jump up, poke it back and then flip. Her owner never taught her to do it, she just started doing it on her own. She has her corgi perform her trick all the time, on asphalt, concrete , grass or sand. I really worry she's going to hurt a joint or her back doing this!

I agree! I look at pictures of Seanna when she was 29# and think..."Oh no! She was so fat"...makes me sad that I let her get like that. But they're all slim and trim now!

While I think it's an adorable video, I sure as heck wouldn't let Ace do this. I keep him extremely slim and he's very active and agile thanks to having to battle it out with my BC puppy every day, but with his dwarfed structure I just can't imagine putting his joints through that much impact being "great". Heck, breeder judges of Cardigans have actively advised against unmonitored use of stairs (up or down) by corgis, even after growth plates have closed!
