I’m not opposed to proper training, but it’s kind of mean to make the dog go down the stairs when it’s so young. Would it really hurt to wait until the pup is a few weeks older and its body and legs are more capable of navigating the stairs? People are so impatient!

Really, this is not cute. Would you tell your 5 months old baby to walk down the stairs? Poor little boy at only seven weeks!

Not doubting that this puppy is well loved at all, but having bred Corgis for over 20 years and being involved in education about them, I can attest that their unique structure makes them particularly susceptible to pastern and back injuiries, because of the length of the loin, and the turnout of the pasterns.

Trying to give people advise is something that reputable breeders do, whether it be a puppy that I bred or not, I want to make sure that it lives the longest, healthiest life possible.

I am nursing a dog right now with a back injury, simply from slipping on the snow and ice. She is on a month of enforced crate rest, after a very expensive stay at the Veterinary Teaching hospital. The written instructions I have for her say NO STAIRS – for the rest of her life. I will be carrying this girl up and down the inside stairs and building ramps on the outdoor ones, and I’m not the only one with corgis who has had an injured back!

It amazes me that people can watch these videos and complain that the animals aren’t being well looked after. Honestly, the people who are *filming* their pets are not the ones mistreating them. And it’s like five steps! I’ve seen this video a bazillion times but it never gets old I still cheer when Butterball gets to the bottom! Yay Butterball!! I love how it looks like the cat is checking he’s okay, like he was cheering for the puppy too.
