After post 14 - class - honest-to-god Crouton in the sand and amaze very low herself , her owner coaxes Crouton under the bar with an endearing discriminative stimulus : " joggle squirm . " As thousands find out , Crouton lowers her belly to the guts and begins to army - crawl forward . She gets her pinna past — gotta be the hard part — before by design wiggling the relaxation of her body under the barroom .
" I cerebrate she ’s gon na make it , " the announcer says in aTikTok videoof Crouton ’s limboing before letting loose a celebratory " yeeahhhh ! "
Her triumph came in former April at the first Corgi Beach Day of the yr . ( The next one is in October and you know we ’re already look for flights ) . Despite the cute boost , the corgi owners and trainer who attend take Welsh corgi oblivion quite earnestly .

Corgi Beach Day is about 10 years one-time . What jump as a little gather coordinated by co - founding father Kelly and Dan McLemore had expanded to let in hundreds of people , and they determine it was meter to start admit some competition and activities to spice up the festival . They let in corgiyoga , upright Welsh corgi momo ( aka bestcorgi can , a competition we wish we ’d known about sooner ) , musical corgi chairs , and , of course , corgi oblivion .
" We came up with most of the competition ourselves , " Kelly says . " We come up with Welsh corgi limbo because corgis are humbled anyway , and I just guess , ' Why not ? ' Now people train them to crawl under the spliff and go low — it ’s so cute ! "
Crouton has certainly had enough training . This year , more than 12,000 people witnessed her 7th victory , sure as shooting the sweetest yet . Croutonwas name with stage 4 os nasale adenocarcinoma — nose cancer — in August , which forced her to undergo several round of drinks of radiation treatment and chemotherapy .
