Hey /an/, I'm moving into a new place soon, and I want to get a dog. Are Corgis good dogs?

they are pretty good dogs, but they have sheep herding tendencies, so they might nip at your ankles for a while. they also tend to get jealous if you get other dogs, so if you plan on getting another dog, get a dog that could care less about being the head dog. i have a corgi and a chocolate lab, and that works out well.

they're "good" if you can handle (i.e. enjoy) the energy of a herding breed.

They should be called Sheddies
>> stabby
whatever you do, google "signs of a good breeder".

Any dog of any breed can be good or bad, depending on how much you do or don't suck as a pet owner. I don't think a herding breed is a good first dog unless you're an energetic person yourself.

I've got two myself, and they are definitely big dogs trapped in little bodies. So, they need lots of room to play and run. Um, as far as being with other dogs...mine LOVE being around other animals, and the female tends to be more aggressive than the male ><

As long as you can dedicate time to them, they're quite good.

They need a good bit of walking everyday, and they shed like a motherfucker. Daily brushing helps, but it's still so. much. fur.

Other than that, they're very lively and great to have around, as well as being retardedly adorable.

My corgi gets along so well with other dogs, but that's not just an inherited trait, you need to socialize your pup and crate train so they'll get used to you leaving them alone for periods of time without causing a mess in your house.

Please don't get a corgi from a BYB you're just asking for hip dysplasia :( make sure you get the papers from the breader saying they've had their OFA exams and all that jazz.
>> Anonymous
Also if you get a puppy corgi you can stop a lot of the nipping problems if you are stern about your dog training. It will still happen but not nearly as much.

Corgi's are the most win of dogs.

Other Corgi owners :D

that tends to be a genetic defect and it wont go away. it doesn't determine anything but it is an indicator of a less than 'absolutely perfect' dog. No worries though imo, I think it is just an aesthetic thing.

Train/Teach them to obey. They are smart little bastards and love to run around + terrorize the world as they go on a rampage of fun.

Ps: Good luck with the chewing, Rofl.

My uncle's corgi's ear both stayed down his whole life. 'Course he got him from an unreliable source, so the dog's got all sorts of other problems, too. DEFINITELY listen to anon's post about looking for a good breeder, or else you could end up with a 70 lb, lop-eared, grass-allergic, hid-dysplastic, very sad little dog.

well op i have a corgi an i love him but be prepared they shed hair like a fucking husky, they need alot of space to be free like a big abck yard they may be small but god r they fast for those little legs, an make sure to have your dog spend time with ither animals if ya want him to be friendly i didnt an my dog attack anything that moves if it isnt a animal i mean it attack germany shepherds with out fear.... they r like some one said earlier big dogs in a small body

Oh my god that is one cute pup!

Anyone with other tips on dog care, what to think of before getting one and training for these fellas?
I'd love to have a dog, not now but later on and I'd like to know more and be prepared.
I've googled around, but I just thought I'd ask here aswell.

guy with the puppy again. to answer any questions, i did get him from a reputable breeder, one of the few in the state i live in. They also guarantee his hips, so they must have some confidence their dogs dont have problems with that. He also has a HUGE yard to run around in (horse farm), and if that other ear does end up being a "genetic defect", at least he'll be easy to spot i guess

it sounds like you've got him some great land. remember this though: they are curious little devils and will chase/search around for things. when they run, if they hit a hole, and their foot gets snagged, they can do some serious damage. so fill up the gopher holes and teach him to avoid the areas of land where they are prominent.

protip: be careful when you pick them up and move them. their backs are delicate. while they are extremely tough little dogs their backs are their Achilles' heel.

When we got my girl corgi, her ears would switch which was up and which was down. It really seemed like she knew it was cute and did it on purpose, but couldn't remember which was supposed to be which way. Cute pup, btw.
>> Anonymous
I think the ear problem is cute, kind of like Free Willy. Unless its a health problem I wouldn't mind it being down.

(SIGH) K'n someone else do the gratuitous "Cowboy Bebop" allegory? I'm done up for now.
