I have 2 wonderful Cardigian Welsh Corgi's of my own. Angus and Morgan. They are show dogs and wonderful family companions. I think they are like any other dog, if you are getting a Pembroke (the ones without tails) then you are looking at a more terrier personality, since they were created using more of the terrier breeds, and they are a little more independant but still a really really great family dog. They can be property protective, and be a bit of a bully. The Cardigans (ones with a tail) are more a herding type dog, They are more hyper and get that herding, nipping at your heels instinct. Just treat your new baby like any other dog and get her/him into some obediance and give it lots of love, everything will fall into place and you will LOVE it!!! Good Luck I personally think Corgi's are the best but then Im partial I show them.

omg. im getting one too. no i've got not had one yet i do kno some information approximately them. they do get alongside with different canines. umm they choose a fenced in section on your backyard so which you will play with them it is going to be sufficiently huge for the canine to run around. " a loose corgi is a misplaced corgi" don;t feed them to a lot as a results of fact they are going to be over weight and don't enable them to bounce off of excessive issues they'd harm there lower back. i'm hoping this facilitates. -Corgilover00141

You got lots of good answers, & I agree with texelgirl about Pembokes being "independent" & also a bit of a bully! Mine was. He bullied ME; chased me around the table until I got on top of it--but I think he knew I was a pushover. I really loved the little guy, & can't now remember why I named him "Rogue" (not his registered name). Just wanted to add something cute about him. His little legs were so short, when he lifted his leg to piddle, he'd fall completely over! He was NOT amused. I know you're going to love him. I've liked "work dogs" best. My next was a puli, Hungarian sheepdog, & once a friend & I took him out in the country & he got off his leash. (Sheep farm!) He just barged right in there as if he'd been doing it all his life, & herded them into a close bundle! I'm happy for you!

There is a great quote about training a dog to be more human that ends with the human perhaps should learn to be more canine. I think that's great advice. This world will be too big for your dog and he will need you to cut things down -- portions, lengths of walks, etc. Another great quote will help you to be a good dog-owner, and again I'm botching the quote somewhat but it's something like "I'm trying hard to become the man my dog imagines me to be." Love, love, love!

If you're only going to buy one book about dogs, this should be it:
http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=DTB464
The author is a behaviorist, and a great writer. It is not literally a 'dog training book' - but you will learn as much as, if not more than, you would from a training book.

Clicker training is a science-based system that was first used with dolphins. It is a great way to build your relationship with your dog. No aversives necessary!
