This video is truthful and valuable. I got my first corgi unaware of this information. I had no tolerance for shed or barking. A girlfriend talked me into it. About 24 hours in, I completely rationalized that the negatives “were not so bad”. Then the transformation of my 3 kids and family dynamic forever changed in the best of ways!! The positive outweighs the negative 100 to one ❤️❤️❤️

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thank you for sharing. I believe many will share the same experience… us included! They definitely are amazing dogs!

[@MrPogingpayatot]

#10 is so real. There was never a time when we go out and people wouldnt come up to say hi, pet him, and even chat. Some friends would even visit from another country with the primary purpose of meeting him. Mind blowing.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

It’s amazing how deep the obsession is among the corgi community!

[@hornet224]

Corgis will always greet you with "Hi, How are you?" and a smile.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Yes! They have the most expressive faces and usually love to interact with people!

[@tdrabble2582]

These are awesome points 😉 As a fellow corgi owner, 100% agree you have to be committed before you get one! The fun policing was hilarious because mine isn’t just limited to dogs! She always barks and chases us around when we play badminton or ping pong or anything noisy board games 🤣

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thanks for sharing! Yes, agree! Gandalf is fun police on me as well. When I chat with others, he doesn’t let me have a chance since I’m all his. 😂

[@jeannerosen9024]

I was asked to rescue a corgi from a seriously neglectful situation. My mind was blown first by the fact that he was so overweight. The shedding was mind blowing. Everything in this video is true. I am a very happy foster failing owner now of this corgi. We keep each other fit, entertained and loved. The amount of shed flying around is worth it. It is also a lot less since he is healthier and has regular brushing.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Once again, I appreciate you giving this poor pup a new meaningful life!

[@davidchung3923]

#5 in this video! Same thing happened with my corgi Buddy! I thought maybe it was my fault as an owner since I tend to be more introverted and less social as a person myself. But, Buddy also became more picky/choosy about dog friends while also being excited to get attention from any human he came across. Way more sociable as a puppy than as an adult.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thanks for sharing! I do think this is a common thing for all dogs as they mature and many locate puppies especially since the puppies don’t understand social cues yet. However, with corgis this maybe be especially the due to their independent personalities.

[@Theguyuknowtrue]

This video made me want my puppy even more! Thank you!

[@Richard-yk3cf]

Best video on why not to get a corgi I've seen! With our dog she has gotten more independent as she has gotten older. She does not play well with others and she only likes to be petted for about five seconds then she'll growl and snap at you. They are great dogs but they are no golden retriever when it comes to personality! Something I've definitely noticed is that male corgis tend to be more friendly than female Corgis.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Appreciate the compliment! Trying to get better with each video published! Yes, definitely many have temperaments that are extremely independent. While this is in many other breeds, corgis do tend to have a strong personality. Of course there are some that are submissive but I’ve seen more strong willed corgis.

[@Richard-yk3cf]

@@GandalfTheCorgi take this for what it's worth but my advice to you, with Gandalf, is to lean HEAVILY into his staring marketability! I know you've done videos and shorts on it before but I would do extensive research on videos, shorts, memes and cartoons dealing with staring and eyeballs and come up with creative ways to incorporate that into videos, shorts and apparel and market that!! Those eyes and the dark circles around them are your money maker. Lean into that!

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

I appreciate the feedback. Definitely his crazy eyes have gotten a lot of attention especially on Instagram. Right now on KZbin, I'm really trying hard to break out of the meme category for the sake of growing this channel to new audiences. We're trying to get to the 4000 hours of watch time (counted on only long-form videos) to reach monetization status to give us an incentive for all the videos we are creating. Also, it helps me invest in some subscriptions tools and perhaps a video editor in the future so we can really generate some content efficiently. Right now, I'm trying to keep afloat multiple platforms and a full time job and essentially editing and scripting in the middle of the night half asleep. The good thing is we're starting to gain some traction in the training series and hoping to develop a few anchor pillars as this channel grows. I definitely will try to think of a way to feature his signature stare perhaps in skit form. Thanks again for your feedback and support!

[@80fordmustang6]

Funny thing you bring up the cat like personality my one corgi is named Kit Kat she’s a little fluffy and 6 months old one of her nicknames is kitty Kat because she sometimes acts like a cat

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

On Instagram, when I made that comment in one of our videos, it completely blew up with comments. Lots of corgi owners can relate.

[@HeyHay10]

All of your videos are so helpful, I don’t normally subscribe to KZbinrs on here but this is such a helpful channel. I just got a new corgi puppy and I looked through many unhelpful websites that just wasted my time. I love how you mention your dogs preferences in the videos also. I didn’t know that corgis were herders either. Thank you for being so helpful ❤

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thank you for your feedback. There are a ton of great dog training resources out there and amazing trainers that we have learned from so I appreciate your comment so much. I hope these videos will help to develop a generation of amazing happy, obedient, and talented corgis as they all deserve the best! Good luck with your corgi pup!

[@tammyhartz3609]

My Corgi, Winnie is 6 months and super affectionate. She absolutely Loves people, loves other pets, trains very easily and is a really super part of the family. She also potty trained as if she already knew. Also a regular brushing keeps The shedding low. I also use the furminator brush and shampoo and conditioner.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

She sounds like an absolute sweetheart and I appreciate the love and attention you have given her. She will be a happy dog who will be a delight! Congrats on your addition!

[@linda-ko7jf]

Is there any chance you and your friend Winnie live in Holland?

[@tammyhartz3609]

No we don't live in Holland

[@Corgipaw_Films]

Interesting and lots of good points. I'm not sure about the fun police thing though! My corgi was always the life of the party and often has otherwise quiet dogs playing in seconds. He was always on for a game. The only time he ever barked was when he barked at me! Mine was a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and perhaps they have different inheritant characteristics than the Pembrokes. Love the video, thank you!

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Got it. I guess it really is a generalization. There are definitely outliers but I think there may be distinctions between Cardigan and Pembroke corgis as you suggested. Corgis are barky, but I usually follow up with the statement that there’s usually a good reason why they are barking. Thanks for your comment! Appreciate it!

[@Corgipaw_Films]

@@GandalfTheCorgi Yes! Either way, corgis are the best thing since...ever! Please give Gandalf a pat for me, and a big hello woof from Australia!

[@kayokolindenberger3754]

100% spot on, but I wouldn't trade owning (or being owned) by a corgi. The corgi is my spirit animal. 😊

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Haha. I’m definitely owned by Gandalf! 😂 Thanks for the comment!

[@winkielaroo]

100 percent accurate. Cute though they may be, corgis are not lap dogs, and you will have a miserable dog on your hands if you get one thinking they are lap dogs or will be happy lying around all day. They are like intelligent people in that they want and need a purpose.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thanks for this comment! Yes agree with you wholeheartedly!

[@tammyhartz3609]

Mine will climb in my lap for a nap. Or lay on my feet..

[@TraceyPhillips-q3u]

Fun Police is exactly right. Wafflenwent from friends with everyone/dog to trying to keep other dogs from their owners because he thinks he is the better choice for that person. Just ordered my self cleaning robot vacuum to assist with fur management. I love that you also don't give treats. Waffle would weigh 100.lbs if I gave him treats all the time. Great video!!

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Appreciate your comment! Ya, that’s one of the main things I get annoyed about Gandalf and have to manage closely. Unfortunately, it does impede me from catching up with others since I can’t have a proper conversation. Otherwise, I need to keep an eye out on him vigilantly so he doesn’t go policing others having fun. The vacuum will help, but you’ll still have to bust out the conventional vacuum periodically as the robo vacuum is just for maintenance so that your house isn’t completely overrun by fur!

[@Ann-kg1zd]

My grandson Rocket is not a big barker fortunately. He is a handful when I'm watching him! He wants to be on the go. He will sit and stare at me with purpose and those judging eyes! Corgi glitter was surprising to me since he's not a huge dog. Rocket is definitely intelligent and knows how to get what he wants 😂 He is pretty good with other dogs and always kicks his paws at dogs 5 times his size. He thinks he's the boss.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Sounds like corgis to me! 😂 Thanks for sharing!

[@dianaandrade7229]

This video is spot on about corgis. Do your research to see if it fits your lifestyle and personality.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Appreciate your comments!

[@dianaandrade7229]

Corgi glitter ✨ ❤

[@PASusieQ]

Haha 😂 my niece’s corgi hair looks like Trump when brushed!

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Should start a new business at corgiwigs.com

[@beckydarmon3677]

How much. Do you feed them and how often

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

We feed him twice a day. Depending on size and diet, how much you feed will depend on the type of food you give your pup. We typically have a cup of his kibble for each meal.

[@CoolBoii420]

Imma still get a corgi no matter what😂

Me too.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

My brother corgi is sociable more with other dogs than humans.

[@sharonotness2230]

Our corgi is definitely a people dog not a dog’s dog. He rarely finds dogs he likes to interact with. Usually they’re smaller than him.

[@GandalfTheCorgi]

Thanks for sharing! Glad G’s not the only one! G’s been attacked a few times (another reason why we now rarely go to the dog park) so that may have contributed to his fear. But on the other hand, he really does like to herd the big fluffy dogs. Perhaps they resemble sheep! 🐑

[@reneebeaumier5505]

Mine is the same…

[@tammyhartz3609]

Mine adores people of all ages. She also is dog friendly! She is only 8 months but an awesome addition to the family.
