Why does my dog roll in the grass? Is it a Corgi thing or normal?

Question

Hi. This question is more so curiosity than it is concern. My dog likes to roll around in the grass when we go outside. Like hell go to a certain spot, paw at the ground, go at it head first and then do this weird roll where his back end just kinda whips back and forth. He is part corgi and I was reading about other people who have corgis that do the same. Is this a "Corgi thing" or is it something that any dog would do regardless of the breed? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 18 lbs

Frido's rolling behavior on the ground outside is quite normal and common! This is not a behavior restricted to Corgis or Corgi mixes since dogs of any breed will display this tendency. Many dogs will roll or rub themselves on the grass because they have an itch, enjoy the small of a certain area, or use it as a way to get out some pent up energy.
