Excellent sport dog

My Corgi competes in agility and has surprised everyone who expected a comical breed to be comically slow. She moves with precision and speed that belies her build.

Vocal but manageable

My Corgi barks at things outside, barks when bored, and barks to communicate general opinions. We have done extensive training to put the barking on command and reduce unsolicited expression. He is much better now and I can interrupt him reliably. His voice carries and without training it would be a…

The perfect active family dog

My Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the ideal balance of manageable size and genuine working dog capability. She is fast, athletic, and learns commands almost faster than I can teach them.

The herding instinct and the children

My Corgi is wonderful with my children but the herding instinct is real and we have had to train against heel nipping. He does it gently and playfully but it was concerning when my children were small. We worked with a trainer and it is much better now. If you have young children and a Corgi, addres…

We did extensive research before getting a dog and the Corgi came up in every category we cared about. Intelligent, trainable, good with kids, manageable size. He has exceeded all our expectations. He is everything the research suggested and more. He is funny, clever, devoted, and endlessly engaging…
