CorgiQuestion:What do you know about Corgi's for a breed? We have a herder mix who loves a corgi friend of his. Any thoughts? Answer: Corgis are wonderful dogs. There are two different "kinds". Cardigan Welsh Corgis have a tail, Pembroke Welsh Corgis do not have a tail (or at least many don't). Believe it or not, they were bred to herd cattle. Answer: I've got one! They can be nutty and they are very energetic at times. They shed a lot(more than my husky) and you have to be carefull with what and how much you feed them. My girl came from a good line and she is great but I have seen some badly bred ones with a lot of health problems so you have to be carefull. I hear from a lot of people that they are barkers,my girl does bark but I think we keep her busy enough that it isn't that much of a problem. Here is my girls dogster page http://www.dogster.com/?23126 Any specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them. Answer: I quite like Corgis. I think they're just charming. The only real behavioral problem I've encountered over and over again with Corgis is coprophagy. (Poo eating.) Answer: wish could help ...no input Answer: I have very little exposure to them but a friend of my in college had one and he always said they are prone to back problems. His dog was older and he grimaced evertime the dog would jump of the couch unassisted. Behavior wise she was a sweetie. Answer: I also have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She's a great dog, but a little strange. She isn't a "pleaser" like most dogs are. She's extremely independent and can be quite a brat when she wants to be. She sheds alot, but only a couple times of the year. I've seen other Corgi's that seem to shed all of the time. She LOVES to bark. We try to keep her busy when she's out in the yard so she doesn't disturb the neighbors to much. They do have a tendency to gain weight, which we are struggling with now since she had puppies and got spayed. They are prone to some health issues, so be careful where you get one. She is an absolutely adorable dog though, and I love her so much. She has a beautiful face with the cutest smile!!!!!!!!!! :D My Corgi is different then the other Corgi's I've been around. Most of them have good dispostions. Answer: I love Corgis! My boss has been breeding them for fifteen years, and she has GREAT dogs. They are extremely smart, I've heard them called "short-legged German Shepherds", but they're not QUITE that smart and aren't as intense, but still much more intelligent than most other breeds, and they are wonderful clowns, extremely entertaining! I would definitely recommend the breed. Of course the parent's personalities and how the pup is raised will affect how the dog turns out, but in general I think Corgis are great. Answer: I've got my little girl Kairi, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She's very affectionate. She'll crawl up, put her head under your chin and talk for hours. Have to say, there's nothing like watching a Corgi's stump flying back and forth a mile a minute. I've heard some horror stories about shedding, but my girl isn't to bad in this department. The only problem we have is when she goes swimming, her fur will make a brand new filter worthless. Edit: Here's a good site I came upon when I first started looking at Corgis: http://corgi.ncn.com/ You can also join the Corgi-L List at the above site. It's a Digest that's sent to your e-mail. The people on the List are very wise in the ways of Corgwyn. Answer: I have a pembroke welsh corgi. She's the sweetest little thing. She does shed a lot. And I mean A LOT. I have to vacuum several times a day. Also, my clothes are always full of hair. She is very independent and headstrong, but shes daddys little girl and cant stand to see me leave for school. She is also an excellent watchdog, and will bark at any dog that passes our house. She my little guardian angel and I love her. Answer: They are extremely smart, I've heard them called "short-legged German Shepherds", but they're not QUITE that smart and aren't as intense, but still much more intelligent than most other breeds, and they are wonderful clowns, extremely entertaining! I'll agree with that. Watching out my window I've caught Kairi jumping on the ring of our pool to use it as a giant water dish. Excellent problem solving on her part. Answer: I <3 My Lil Munchkin!! Corgis Are So Adorable!!! :) Answer: ive been wanting a corgi myself but not shure of how they get along with other pets such as..... CATS! i have 3 and is it a bad thing to mix a corgi with 3 house cats? b/c its going to mostly be an inside dog! so is this a wise choice? Answer: I have heard that corgis are actually great with cats. But it really depends on each individual dog. Answer: I have heard that corgis are actually great with cats. But it really depends on each individual dog. Generally, no, theyre not good with smaller animals BUT if properly socialised they can be great with other animals. Answer: i c... well thats good because i ve been wanting a dog for at the most 5 years and im finally gonna get one :)!!!! YAY. thx 4 the help! Answer: corgis are great and i love them they are so awesome and so cute.. i would love to have one here but i think my dobes would give them crap lol Answer: Not at all,thats what makes the corgi great :D My girl beats my dobe up al the time. Answer: My family has a pembroke corgi. She's sweet and energetic. So far no health problems besides getting stickers in her ears because she's so low to the ground. She dosn't bark except when she wants something. She does have some issues like with children she's pretty submissive but if they get into her face she growls and is kinda scary. Kelty that's her name is very INDEPENDANT!!! Beware if considering a corgi they do have a mind of there own and are stubborn :) Also watch how much they eat and make sure they get plenty of excersice otherwise you'll get a little chubby short doggie :) Answer: my grandma use to raise Corgi's for a few years. She said they where cute little dogs and that they can be a handful if you get to many at one time LOL Answer: i love corgis i guess from their size, my mom dosent want a big dog and a corgi is the perfect size. and i dont want an agressive dog either, somtimes they will have an annoying attitude (but who dosent?). lol im glad that they r good with cats! Answer: are you getting your midget demon from the shelter or a breeder?lol Answer: im gonna get one from a breeder, i do love dogs and wish to help the homeless. but i still need to find a breeder. lol Answer: I had a pembroke welsh corgi growing up. He was very independent and ornery sometimes, but we loved him. They are also used in England to hunt foxes. Answer: My Corgi gets along great with our two cats:D Answer: I owned a corgi for 15 years and he was about the best dog I ever had. All of the ones I have been around have been incredibly smart, fun loving, independent little dogs who don't know they are little dogs. My guy was the best guard dog and even though he was small he would have given his life to save mine. He did have a problem with kids toddler age and younger. Older kids he loved though and he was great with all the animals that came through my life including cats, other dogs, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs. He was also a great farm dog and a wonderful trail riding companion. I have seen corgis at hearding trails and in the top competions of agility as well. They do need alot of time when they are young to get them well trained and socialized. If you haven't figured it out yet, I LOVE these little dogs. I hope to get another one one day but right now I am still getting over the loss of my 15 year best friend. Good luck with your new dog. I hope he gives you all the eyars of joy that my buddy gave me. Answer: I Have one Shes A Cardi But Shes So Sweet and She is Spayed But if she wasnt alot of people I know would want one of her puppies! Answer: this christmas i got a new dog!! a corgi her name is Nina and she is red and white with a stripe up to her forehead! she just loves to bark though lol. she is ok with the cats, just allittle curious they arent agressive tworard her thats good, but shes is a very cute and loving puppy!:D |
