That last part is something that it should be said more often about corgis, they are incredibly intelligent which means that they required lots of attention and training because if you don't, give it to them you are gonna have the cutest hellspawn that there is.

I have a Corgi mix who has been a stray. He has legs twice as long as a corgi and a beautiful tail. besides that, he looks and sheds like a corgi and his personality is also all corgi. I love my Victor. 😊

[@MrTome1975]

Corgis are the best. My corgi, Alenclaud Braddock, just turned 6. From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

[@stracepipe]

I have a long haired Corgi called Zak (after Zacchaeus in The Bible who was very short). He is a wonderful dog. He's incredibly friendly and loves boisterous play with other dogs. Everybody loves him and he has really enriched my life.

[@StacieS225]

Our sweet Katie crossed the rainbow bridge this past Saturday (3/16/19). She was 18 years 8 months old. She was the best dog ever. The shedding is no joke. I could make a whole new Corgi every time I brushed her. Well, more like raked her because I had to use one of those rake things that got to the undercoat. I could rake the same area over and over in one sitting without there being a bald spot (like the fur just grew instantly). She loved it, though.

[@SanctuaryRemix]

I'd only argue that Corgi's are more famous today in America thanks to Japan introducing us to Cowboy Bebop and, most importantly, Ein. It may be a generational thing, but most Corgi owners around my age definitely talk about Ein being the inspiration for becoming a Corgi owner. He was definitely mine, and me and my little Pixel are inseparable.

[@tncorgi92]

They're great with kids if raised with them. Training is a must, though. You can't just turn them loose and expect model behavior.

[@mhikl4484]

I had a golf driver missing its club head and duct-taped a bungie-cord to the end and then added a metre length of sailing cord. My corgi loved chasing it, tugging on it as I whipped the cord over and around the grass. We would then have a tug of war over it. Then I would order "Drop" and she would comply, letting go of the cord. Then I would move the rope across the grass and say "Go!" and the chase would begin again. But do not over do it. A corgi could chase it to her death.

[@ethelmiller8667]

[@joseescobedo7899]

Mind me asking where did you get that image of all the dogs from

[@derschafer1012]

I had a Corgi named Pebbles. She would play fetch until your arm got tired and she would smack my other Noorwetian Elkhound, Lola, in the face with a rope until Lola would play tug-of-war. And she was insanely intelligent for a dog. She would walk beneath the end table and push the drawer out with from inside the table with her nose to get her toys inside. And we taught her how to count so sometimes when my mother was grading her students homework and doing math out loud Pebbles would be tapping her paws on the ground lol. Sadly she developed degenerative myelopathy and was resigned to a doggie wheelchair and we eventually had to put her down a year after Lola died of a stroke. They are very loving dogs. After Lola died Pebbles was clearly depressed and kind of gave up on the wheelchair, preferring to just lay in her bed all day. I would get another Corgi in a heartbeat and would recommend this breed to anyone, she was an awesome dog and bought our family much joy and good times.

[@mydogdoestricks503]

der Schäfer - my girl, Talli (in my pic), has been really depressed since her brother (my Jack Russell) died a little more than a year ago. Corgis don’t seem to deal with loss very well. She still jumps up when she hears anything that sounds like it could be his collar jingling, like he’s just come home finally. I’ve been thinking of getting her a new little brother now that some time has passed, but Lordy these little dudes have gotten expensive! I think I preferred it back when they weren’t so trendy! I got her 12 years ago for $175! I shoulda let her have a couple litters!!

[@derschafer1012]

She is adorable. Yeah, I’ve heard similar but things from other Corgi owners. Smarter dogs understand abstractions, like the finality of death whereas a dumb dog will just notice his/her brother/sister is no longer around. And Corgis are ranked #11 out of 110 for IQ. It also depends on r/K gene selection. Some breeds tend to be more r selected and some are more K. It’s not binary like gender, and all dogs skew towards K, but some are extremely K and some are moderately K. The more K selective breeds would be better equipped to read body language and perceived that their loved one is dying and the seriousness of their affliction. They also have far more loyalty to their own pack than more r selective breeds. And again, they tend to be much more intelligent. When Lola was dying, Pebbles didn’t leave her side. We don’t know why she died. But I know she had a benign tumor - I believe it pressed up against an artery and caused her to have a stroke because I saw her walking around the backyard just fine and suddenly she fell as if she tripped over something and wouldn’t move. She eventually got up, walking towards me and fell again. Pebbles started tugging on her collar trying to move her but I ran out with her water bowl and she barely lifted her head and started lapping it in. She was able to walk the rest of the day, albeit very laboriously. But the next day, my parents called me home from work because they wanted me to come with them to put her down. When I got there, she was just laying there and Pebbles was literally pacing back and forth in her chair right by her. She couldn’t open her eyes but I put my hand next to her and she lifted her head, sniffed my hand and her head just plopped on the floor and her breathing suddenly got frantic and shallow. I think that’s the point when she went into a coma. And my father dragged her out from beneath the table by her hind legs, and put her in my arms to carry to the car. When he handed her to me and I put my right arm underneath her right shoulder and her head just kind of slumped limply over her left shoulder like she was looking and her own spine and I had to move her head to open her airway. At that point I think it hit Pebbles and I simultaneously that she wasn’t coming back because Pebbles became whimpering at that point. And that night Pebbles insisted on sleeping in my room. She would normally sleep against my door, but she kept whimpering. I think it deeply effects Corgis.

[@mydogdoestricks503]

der Schäfer - That’s a heartbreaking story, and I know all too well how it feels. Trevor had a stroke at the vet coming out of anesthesia. He had a pea sized lump on his groin that they told me was 99.9% cancer, and they needed to do a punch biopsy. They weren’t even supposed to sedate him. But he wouldn’t be still and even though I hadn’t signed off on it, they knocked him out. He always had a hard time and I never would have allowed it because he’d just had dental work a couple weeks before. At his age I was limiting his anesthesia because recovery time was getting longer and longer. The vet gave him twice as much as usual and then gave him 3xs as much anti-sedation which caused his stroke. They told me to put him down that day, but I just couldn’t. I had 4 more months with him, but Talli was always right by his side after that. I guess she knew what was coming. She wouldn’t let anyone near him but me. 4 months later, had another stroke in the yard and then passed 3 days later. It was awful. To make matters worse, I found out that it was just an ingrown hair follicle that had gotten infected that started all of this. No cancer. The vet hadn’t given me the results until after he died and I had to get copies of his record for my pet insurance claim. I wanted to throw up. 😢

[@derschafer1012]

My sincerest condolences. It’s really hard to watch a friend deteriorate like that when there’s really nothing you can do. Especially over something as harmless as an ingrown hair. But you made the right calls by taking Trevor for the biopsy and opting not to have him sedated. Dogs depend entirely on us for their care and it sounds like you did a great job for him. I remember when were putting Lola down, her breathing was so short, shallow and labored. All I could hear were her tiny lungs frantically gasping for air. The doctor explaining the procedure to us was just white noise in the distance. When they administered the euthanasia, it all went silent. It was the most deafening silence I’ve experienced. But finally the doctor said “She was well taken care of and she died surrounded by a family that loved her.” It offered little solace in the moment, but when I think of her and I can hear her failing lungs struggling in my head, I remember what she said to me and it helps. I think she at least died knowing she was loved.

They live 12 to 15 years and canine dengenerative myelopathy (DM) is a condition they should be tested for. Incase you missed it be prepared for a lot of shedding, its it's a small price to pay for such a wonderful breed.

[@mydogdoestricks503]

I ❤️ my corgi! I’ve noticed that mine seems to be able to make a clear distinction between fellow corgis and other breeds. When we go to the park or just on walks, if there’s 10 dogs we see and 1 is a corgi, she’ll hide behind me 9 times, acting shy and scared but then she can just about pull me over to get to the other corgi. The happy snorting and bouncing and woo-ing ensues. Anyone else ever notice this? I had a Jack Russell and he was happy to play with any kind of dog or animal, never seemed to pay special attention to other Jacks.

[@ravennas.2736]

Samantha Platte...I agree. Except for my rescued female, who was never socialized and preferred humans. I've had a Cardigan and another Pembroke rescue and they did seem to prefer other Corgis too. When they meet another of their breed, they have a kind of ritual greeting, like you'll see at Corgi Con. I think it's charming and when a group of them meet it's like a Corgi circus. I think it's because of their herding heritage. They kind of bunch up together and fun and chaos ensues. I know everyone may have their different opinions on breeds but once you are owned by a Corgi there's nothing like it and you want another. I sympathize with the other people on this channel who have lost their Corgis. Mine have each passed on and they take a huge part of your heart with them. But I'll rescue another.❤

[@stephenphillip5656]

Could I possibly offer some words of advice ? If you are looking to buy a dog online... *DON'T* as you have no way of checking the pup's or mother's provenance. Here in UK, there are all sorts of horror stories of people who have bought a puppy online (from a "puppy farm") and lived to bitterly regret the experience, incurring vast vets bills and all the upset. By all means, do your research to find a reputable local breeder on-line but I say again, please don't buy a puppy unseen. It is a life-commitment and you need to get this right, for yours and the puppy's sake. If you really *do* want a corgi, a reputable local breeder will be happy to show you the mother and puppies together and also advise you on the suitability of the breed and best care of your new addition to the family. Corgis are adorable and affectionate (I speak as someone who has owned one) but but they are also quite headstrong and if you don't do adequate early-life training, you can finish up with an out of control dog which can ruin your happy home (and seriously upset your neighbours as well). Sorry if this seems "preachy" but I feel I have to point this out to you as seeing videos of (OK, *cute* ) puppies and happy healthy dogs on KZbin is very emotive, but you do need to think very carefully before you leap in and take on this commitment.
