My dog looks Corgi. Will his short legs cause future health issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 6 months and 15 days old | 15.3 lbs

I think my dog might have some corgi in him. Do his legs look short and is there a high possibility that he will have hind leg problems(commonly seen in corgis) in the future ?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While I agree that he may have Corgi in him, I do not think that he is more likely to develop leg issues. At least based on how he looks now, I think he will be ok. He is so handsome! Good luck and have a great day!
