Does anyone know what corgis are like (personality, activeness, etc.)?

I'm looking into getting a dog and these little guys have caught my attention :3

They have an instinctive need to lick peanut butter out of glasses

check Petco or Petsmart for any guide care books specially for Corgis, something like Corgi's for dummies, they should have good information on their personality and disposition

They're fairly active because they're herding dogs, but that also makes them really smart. I've heard they can be somewhat aggressive and tend to "nip" at heels. There was one down my street that would nip at my german shepard, though I also heard the aggressivness may have been bred out.

I want one too =)

They're extremely energetic and can run around forever. Very playful, very friendly, and easily excitable. They can also be really loud, and some corgis like to attempt to sing (and sound horrible doing it :D). They're really clever and also love to be the center of attention.

Plus: SUPER CUTE.

Very cute, they have shorter legs which means less exercise! They are incredibly inquisitive and can be etremely loud when the want to be.

I have a corgi! ^_^ (for fun I gave him a pb jar.)

If you know how to handle a dog, they are the greates lil pups. Very smart dog with a big dog voice/personality, but in a smaller package.

I got mine when he was 2 years old from a guy who didn't know how to handle dogs. We had some discipline issues to work through at first, but he is completely trained now. (most dogs if they are not raised right can be lost causes when they reach a year)

As for energy, I usually walk him a mile a day, and play some ball with him. He usually lounges around or sleeps the rest of the day.

As for smarts, he has learned everything from rolling over to ringing a bell on the door when he has to go outside to being able to pick a ball out of a pile of toys when told. They like being challenged, and mine get snotty if I don't do anything to make him think at least once a day.

He's a pretty bad shedder, but with a shedding wire each day, it's not as bad as it could be.

And lastly, I hate to say it, he is better with kids than I am. As in, I would be better off leaving him to babysit kids than if I were to.

I have a corgi. It looks like the one in the picture, and it's done that before.
Mine is a very good dog. Very energetic and friendly.
We got it for free from my aunt because it couldn't breed, and it's such a sweetie. She trained it to be polite. It's calm most of the time unless it wants to play, and won't bite at all even when you rile her up a lot. But if you're rough with it when it's a puppy I bet it would bite.
They get fat easily, but it's also easy to make them lose weight. Just walk them a lil more and feed them less. If you get 2 in a place with some cats, they'll try to heard the cats.
Get a rake comb and brush it with that sometimes. We forgot to for a couple months and only brushed her with a regular brush, and I swear I could have made a whole extra dog with the loose underfur I pulled out.
Totally awesome dogs.

Yup, they are insinctive herders. I trned mine loose on some chickens that a friend asked me to harass (because they kept attacking her) and he kept running them around an didn't harm a single one of them.

Now where he was herding them towards was beyond me--probably just herding anywhere for kicks. X-D Mine's been known to do it to younger kids too. He'll run in front of them to get them to come back, or will grab their shirts and nip their heels if they ignore him.

For comparison, my brother's American Eskimo got loose with the same chickens....and promptly grabbed one and ran around with it like it was a toy until it expired. >_<

I know someone that raises shelties, they would also herd us around when we were kids.

Guy I work with has one, it instinctively herds his kids. Keeps them from wandering off his porch or whatnot.

My friend has one and it's very friendly and playful. A purebred corgi also has very soft hair. Great around kids.

If you plan to get a corgi, please live in an open area so it can run around all day long or allow it to walk at least a mile a day. As with any dog, it does need daily walks, but please don't keep it inside all day long.

I had corgis for years and they always had a yard to play in. We didn't take them out for walks nor let them socialize, so they became anti-social outside their region. They do love people and are great with kids. Even bratty 3 year olds that toucher them as a poor puppy.
