Our Corgi Maggie Snorting

Maggie has a "snort" or what we have been told is a "backwards sneeze". We were very concerned when she was a pup thinking she was ill, but we have since been told it is normal to the breed. Does your corgi snort?

My corgi also does this and it is a little scary at first and looks like it hurts. I found holding her nose does help and glad to know that it is in the bred. I read about it when I first got her, but she didn't really start doing it until this summer when the weather has been so hot and dry

My corgi does the same thing. I found that if you take off their collar and take their head and lift it towards the ceiling and massage their neck it helps. If that doesnt than I usually open his mouth because we will stop if I hold open his mouth.

Our corgi does this. It's very distressing to see. I'm also relieved to read that it's just a breed thing. Thanks for posting this :-)

My corgi does the same thing! I am always trying to catch that on video. Poor thing.

Yes, ours does that too. We were also very concerned, but since I saw your video description I'm feeling relieved.
