About r/corgi
In its own words:
Welsh corgi - a short-legged, long-backed dog with foxy head of either of two breeds of Welsh origin: Cardigan Welsh corgi or Pembroke Welsh corgi
Community guide
r/corgi (#881, about 1.2 million) is the Welsh corgi appreciation community (Pembroke and Cardigan)—cute photos and corgi life—not a general dog-training classroom.
What belongs
Corgi photos and light community posts (about 34 posts/day). Collected rules: no merch spam; be civil; no donation/adoption solicitations; no sad content; no social handles in titles/links; no medical advice; no repost bots; no AI-generated images.
Versus dogs and Dogtraining
r/dogs and Dogtraining cover all breeds and behaviour work. Breed rooms like corgi (and goldenretrievers on related lists) are appreciation-first. Take training and medical questions to appropriate help subs—not here for vet advice.
Practical pointers
Skip AI fake corgis and merch links. Keep titles clean of Instagram handles. Use Dogtraining or a vet for behaviour/health issues.
