The Corgi Breed is definitely a small dog with a big personality. They were originally bred to be herding dogs. They are very strong for their size, but also very quick and agile. They love to play for hours. In fact, prospective owners need to realize that Corgis do require attention from you. They need to interact with you. They really do live to please their owners!
Corgi dogs are very strong willed, but with dedication to training a Corgi you will be amazed at their intelligence. Once you define their boundaries in your home they do obey the rules, but they will test you! It is very similar to raising a child! We have two male Corgis in our home Smooches and Opie, so I can speak from experience. They are a real source of pleasure to all of us.
Corgi breeders are very easy to find. You can check in the area where you live to find a Corgi breeder. Another option to consider might be the Internet. That is where I found Opie! I even got him for a 50% discount because he has an overbite! He is one awesome Corgi! I have noticed that many local pet shops are keeping Corgi pups for sale. They are priced a bit higher, but that is to be expected.
Smooches and Opie are Pembroke Corgis. The other Corgi breed is a Cardigan Corgi. The only difference I am aware of is the Cardigan Corgi has a long tail. The Pembroke Corgis have a very short tail. It looks kind of like a golf ball, but when they wag it their whole rear end moves! It is quite a sight. All of the Corgis have this beautiful smile that you will enjoy coming home to after a long day of work.
Please take a look at this website http://www.selectsmart.com/DOG/ before choosing a Corgi for your family. Also consider the adoption of a Corgi thru a Corgi Rescue organization. Here is a link for that possibility http://www.forpaws.org/articles/AboutCorgiRescue.htm. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your new best friend!
