Should I Get a Corgi or a Chocolate Lab?

I’m not sure which i should get but i deffinatly want one of them. Maybe the corgi because i could train him/her to herd my geese (Yes I do have geese) or the lab to be my running partner? Plz help!
And can ou plz support your vote. I want some really good reasons why I should get one over the other. Thnx.

I have known more than one dog of both breeds, and like them both (full disclosure – my favorite breed is scottish terrier).

Figure out what you want to do with your dog. My sister (chocolate lab owner) calls hers the SUV of the dog world – good family pet, very trainable, great hunting companion, LOVES water. Kind of big if your house is small. As far as I know, there are no genes for herding in labs.

Corgies, on the other hand, were developed for herding. The ones I knew were full of energy and could probably give you a run for you money (pun intended). Herding takes lots of stamina.

Check out a few breed specific sites. Here’s a pair I found from a Yahoo search: http://corgi-l.org/ http://www.labradorretriever.com/

    Well, the other people say lab,but that is because they like big dogs. Labs drool and they get ALOT of hair on everything. So really you should get a welsh corgi.

    I would get a corgi. The only problem with them is they shed a lot. But Corgi can be your running partner too. They can run real fast.

    Well i suppose it depends on how much room and time you have. I would pick a Corgi just because where I live I can only have small dogs. Labs are really good dogs too but they have tons of energy and some genetic health problems. I don’t know what kind of health problems corgis have, but in labs hip displasia is really common.

    I have never met a chocolate lab (or any lab) I didn’t love and that didn’t love me back :)

    The only Corgi I know, despite having a fantastic owner, is a scardey dog and barks at new people.

    I’m more of a lab person. Plus, there are 1000′s of chocolate labs (and some corgi’s too) for adoption on http://www.petfinder.com
