We own 2 of these fine little dogs and adore them.They are wonderful companions for children over the age of 6 as they have a clownish nature.This breed thrives on human interaction and is best living in the home as part of the family.It is best to have a pair as they are a busy breed and if the children are not available they will keep each other entertained.They are contented playing fetch for hours,but just as equally contented sitting in your lap watching t.v.They do have a tendency to nip heels,but can be trained not to do this.Exceedingly bold and alert,this breed makes a great watch dog.There isn't much that gets by those big ears!Grooming is minimal,brush 1 to 2 times a week.Training is very easy,this is one smart breed!I WILL own this breed again.

Pros: loving,devoted,humorous,loyal,friendly,alert

Cons: considerable barking,heel nipping

I've owned four of these wonderful dogs in my lifetime, and have had a few litters. I frequently show these dogs in AKC and APRI, and they are by far the best breed I have ever worked with in my life. They are the most well rounded animal, being suitable for farm life, working life, or family life. Great with kids, and other pets, provided they have been properly socialized. Their coat comes in red, fawn, sable, black headed tri and red headed tri color. Their coat is thick and full, very soft and sheds heavily twice a year... but otherwise minimal brushing is needed. Devoted and loving, these dogs make great pets for people new to dog ownership or apartment living. Although, they need plenty of exercise. Don't let those little legs fool you! They were bred to herd cattle, their short legs helped them roll out of the way when a cow kicked. They also herd sheep, goats, and ducks. Very alert, these dogs will let you know when someone comes up the drive! This is the only breed you too will soon fall under their spell!

Pros: loyal, loving, highly intelligent, friendly, good with kids, good with other pets, and very cute!

Cons: nipping(very easily trained out of), can become shy around strangers if not properly socialized, twice a year heavy shedding

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are the best. I have owned and bred a fair number in the 12 years since I first got a Corgi. I grew up with many breeds over the years but from now on, it's just Corgis. I love that they are small dogs yet not frail like some tiny breeds. They can give as good as they get! They are entertaining and often entertain themselves. I have had two that will toss their own ball to chase. They bark alarm but aren't yappy dogs. They love to play yet are good lap dogs as well. And, they're like potato chips...you can't have just one!

Pros: Small but sturdy, few medical problems, loving, loyal, good watchdogs, good lap dogs, love walks, natural jesters.

Cons: Shedding

We have three Corgis, two Pembrokes and one Cardigan. The Cardigan is 17 years old. She's really old now but her heart is good. The Pembrokes are 11 and 7. I won't have any other breed. Corgis are funny, delightful, they make the best companions, and they're so much fun. They love people and make great family pets.

Pros: Smart, easy to train. Love to retrieve toys, balls and frisbees. They love to go on walks. They're in the middle of whatever is happening.

Cons: They shed every day of the year but we're used to it. We put up with it because we love them so much.
