[@underthebookcover]

I actually watched this video with my corgi! I had wanted a corgi for several years but then I got cancer and couldn't get one because I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with one while going through treatment. My husband and I talked about it for a long time and after I was through with treatment, we got our baby Sora! At first I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to give him the best life because of my energy level and recovery, but he's been such a good motivator to actually get up and move and exercise more. He's such a high energy pupper and he really keeps me happy and laughing and moving because he loves to run around outside and play with his ball and play fetch. I wasn't prepared for how much fur was going to show up around our house but we just call it corgi glitter and accept it! But corgis really are a huge commitment and this definitely wasn't a decision we made on the fly, so I absolutely agree that doing research and really considering what kind of dog is best for you and your lifestyle is a good idea!

I put off getting a pet for years because of the cost and not being home during the day. I was over 30 before I was sure I could swing the cost and that I was over my cat allergy. Almost 20 years ago my first cat decided to eat the tinsel garland off the back of grandma's Christmas tree. I was lucky he barfed it up before it hit his intestines. If he hadn't, I would have a vet bill of about $1500 or a dead cat and that's a quote from the vet. Pet needs to go the emergency pet clinic in my neck of the woods you better have at least $500 to pay upfront before they will even look at it.

@@fragmina729 My mom is also very allergic to cats. However, she only reacts to certain cats. There are more allergy friendly cats such as Rex cats. My mom barely reacted to my dad's Maine Coon cat as well. Allergies are a little complex. My mom did the following to determine what animal she is allergic to. It might help you as well. Ask the shelter or breeder to cut some hair off for you. Keep the hair in a textile bag close to your pillow. That way you can test if you get a reaction.

Thank you!! After working with our Regional Corgi Rescue and raising Corgis removed from puppy mills and abuse, adopting shelter and rescue dogs cannot be stressed enough. My last Corgi was rescued from a Midwestern puppy mill and found in a pet store when she was just 8wks old. Her severe hip dysplasia was diagnosed when she was 3 yrs old, as as result of careless irresponsible breeding practices. She had a myriad of health and allergy struggles throughout her life time. Her final 3yrs of her 13yr life span was spent having to have a wheeled cart to function as her hind legs and suffering the indignity of intractable incontinence, she hated both. I still wish unthinkable discomfort on the puppy mill breeder who caused my beloved Kate such pain and suffering. Please rescue Corgi's, or any other pure bred dog, if you want a breed specific companion. Pedigrees and bloodlines are essential for showing in AKC shows, none is needed for a life long friend.

This is such a great and important video. I love how cute corgis are and would love a dog - but I also recognize I would not be responsible enough to take care of one. I work 10 hours a day away from the house, so I'd feel just terrible leaving them alone most of the day! Plus I do come home and spend a lot of time gaming, like raiding in Final Fantasy XIV, so that's just more time I would have trouble giving them the attention they need. It's truly such a shame when people just leave their dogs outside all day or get rid of them because they're just 'tired of them', forgetting they're living creatures with feelings. Thank you for the video! There is so much love and cuteness, it's wonderful to see.

@@ConstantChaos1 There's an organization where I live that specialize in finding shelter dogs of different breeds that can do specific tasks, like retrievals or signaling, without needing to worry about taking the weight of their handler for stability, and it's really something else to see how much they can change a life. I'm not sure what your needs are and I'm not going to intrude by asking. I just hope you have access to the organizations that exist who will find service dogs to fit almost anyone's needs, because there are countless breeds who get abandoned that have great service potential that can't find a forever home as a pet for one reason or another. From pitbulls for mobility and/or stability to certain terriers or herding breeds for diabetic, seizure, and psychiatric alerts; there's more potential than some groups like poor people in need to know about. If you truly can't have a service dog, I hope you have access to a fur baby for cuddles when you need it, especially for being a responsible and compassionate person. ❤

I love chihuahuas. Those are definitely my favorite breed. I got into them initially because they are so small and cute, but I absolutely fell in love with the breed because they are what I would call "talkers". They communicate verbally in a huge variety of ways. Sometimes they will growl or moan or do single little yips. It's like they learn certain sounds correlate to certain things they want. I can just talk to my chihuahua and she will straight up tell me exactly what she wants, having her own sounds for food, water, chewies, dry food, if she wants to go out, or if she just wants to play. I can tell immediately what she wants by the sounds and gestures she makes and I find this infinitely convenient because my other dogs don't communicate to that degree. They mostly just bark or get excited but never really tell you what they want with that degree of specificity, the closest they get is running to the door when they want to go outside or running to the kitchen when they want food. I love my little talkers though.

[@SqueeMei]

I'm happy that you mentioned that even if you don't adopt from a shelter, then at least get your pet from a registered, respectable breeder. We got my former dog (She died almost a year ago, got to be 15½ years old) from a family friend. They weren't breeders per say, in their dog's 21 year life time they had puppies on her 3 times and always with the same partner. The outcome was these adorable little cairn terrier mixes (don't remember the breed of the mom) and they always made sure to keep in contact with whoever got one of their puppies, so they knew they were safe. The thing is, every time I talk about it here on youtube, I've had people borderline harass me just because I was telling a positive story about getting a dog that didn't come from a shelter... (Because I had SO much to say in how we got her when I was 6 =_= ) It's actually not easy to get a shelter dog in my country. Not that the process is difficult, but we just don't have many dogs in the shelters! (There are plenty of cats though!) As of writing this comment there is a total of 9(!) dogs in ALL registered shelters in my entire country (And you can't run an unregistered shelter here, at that point you're just a pet shop)! And even then, the dogs there often have very specific needs so you can't just go and expect to find a dog for everybody. So yeah, obviously always check the shelters for your new pet. But if you will have to go to a breeder, go to someone registered and respectable. Visit them, take a look at their other dogs conditions. If they refuse to let you visit and insist on just handing over a puppy on a parking lot or the like, then say no! (You'd be surprised by how many people don't realize that that's shady af) A good breeder will also know their puppies very well so they can often match you with a dog that match your lifestyle pretty well. ^^ This was way longer than I intended it to be, but it had to be said xD

[@sunnydoom2726]

I'm glad you put hours on your estimated minimum time to spend daily to care for corgi. Most folks just say "a lot" or they shed "a lot". Most people don't understand just how much of a commitment to every day this is. For us 1 hour morning time 1 hour evening time and a good 1+ hour of combined play breaks and then day long activities each weekend to socialize. That does NOT include the time to clean daily to not breathe and eat fur because they never ever stop shedding. They are worth all the effort but you have to understand how much effort that is up front.

Thank you for talking about the importance of taking adopting a dog seriously! I see too many people that pay hundreds for what they see as an accessory. Then they get mad when they have to take the time to fulfill the dogs needs or that the puppy that they ignore is chewing up all their stuff bwcause they arent taking the time to excercise and play with a high energy puppy. My childhood dog passed away in 2014, and as much as i would have loved to have gotten another dog right away, i knew i wasnt in a position to do so and be avle to care for it properly. About a month ago i had a late night revelation that i was finally in a place in my life that i could have a dog again! I knew i wanted a medium to low energy dog as well as a dog that wasnt a puppy (i know i dont have the energy for puppy needs) an older dog is a better fit for me! I went to the local shelter and came out with a 5 year old, 70 pound chow chow german shepard mix that is just as lazy as me but is such a happy boy! Hes certainly bigger than i had planned to get and requires more time for exercise, but i knew that when i considered him and it worked out for the best, my mental health has been so much better because not only do i have his smiling face to see everyday, but actually exercising like i hadnt done in years has been good for me. Adopting a dog is about finding a compatable companion, one that will match your stride not just when you get them, but through theirs and your lives.

[@silentflyer5498]

I have always wanted a dog, and of cause so did my kids. But tending friends dogs when they were on vacation was the initial test. After that we did one of the best deccissions for us, we took a dig in as foster parents for about a year and a half. It was a Labrador that went to to become a Guide Dog for a blind person. So to help the woman who train them (needs a lot of dogs as most of them (~70%) fail for some reason, medical or temperamental or other reason) she have puppyraisers who takes care of the dog until they are ready to begin school, i.e. at about 1,5 years of age, and give them a loving home to grow up in and basic home obedience. This gave us a long time to find out if we really wanted to own a dog as our own. Also, in our contract we had the first option to buy the dog should he/she not become a guide dog) The best decission we ever made. Now we don't own a dig, but we have such a good contact with the trainer that every now and then she asks if we want to help tending a dog for a while - a weekend - a few weeks - over the summer holidays. And if it fits in our schedule we gladly do so. We still love dogs, but also found out that to own out own dog was not the best for us. So this might be an option for you who are interested. Most trainers of any kind of service dogs, if they do it on a commercial scale (our Trainer delivers 3-5 dogs per year, so it is NOT a mass production, but with a 30% success rate she needs to have a lot of puppies in the rotation), will need puppyraisers. Be it for Guide Dogs, for the Customs, Military, or other function, there will always be a need for having dogs grow up in a normal home before being trained. Also - if you get a dog, even the puppyraiser option, I would recommend that you find someone in your network that can help with tending him/her should you need to tend something where it is not convenient of possible to bring the dog with you. Be it travel, or emergency reason. If you come down with the flu, it is sooo nice not to have to worry about your dog not getting the attention it needs for a few days, as it has a good place to be for a short while, as an example. But was it not hard to leave the dog you had in your home since he was 8 weeks old? I hear you ask! Yes of cause it was, but wen going into the puppyraiser role, you do it with the knowledge that it is the ultimate goal. Ian I must say I felt like a really proud parent when my dog-son took his exam and went out in the world to start working is important job! And as all such parents, I did shed a few tears, he was my baby after all! :)

Thank you for a great video. Dogs of any breed are a big responsibility. I was lucky enough to adopt my Pembroke Corgi (Ajax) from a shelter. He was out of the box perfect with great manners and knew a lot of commands. Surprisingly, our special little guy was not very barky. We got lucky. I would also caution that folks interested in adding a corgi to their family should definitely seek a responsible breeder who tests for certain corgi-related issues. Our adopted corgi eventually developed degenerative myelopathy and gradually lost the ability to use his back legs and eventually his front legs. We loved and supported him for as long as his quality of life was good while in this condition. We acquired a doggy wheelchair for him and did our best to keep him well. Once his quality of life took a major downturn, we had to do him the kindness of peacefully having him put down.

Highly energetic, jumps everywhere, need exercise to calm him down, need play time, shed A LOT, bark A LOT. Yep. I always questioned why I took the corgi route but anytime I see his cute, lovable face my time and efforts seem to be worth it.

[@kassandraahuero7962]

Yes they require a lot of time playing walking them they are a full time job lol but I love him so I do my duty as a pet parent they are like children

[@KirileeCosplay]

Great video! My husband and I bought two sister puppies earlier this year - they are toy poodle cross Pomeranians. They are adorable but we have certainly made some adjustments to our lives and also how I craft and cosplay. We named them Taffeta and Lacey. Taffeta doesn’t really shed at all but Lacey does a bit- dog hair everywhere! Your video really made me laugh- thank you!

[@faynuexunqi4042]

most of this was common sense, for all dogs in general, not just the corgi.

[@meagan1169]

Yes Agree

[@worldhello1234]

If you cannot explain it, there is not much sense at all.

[@nogoodname7090]

Dogs are good presents for kids so they learn how to raise a living thing at a younger age and so they aren't on their devices as much as well as relieving stress and anxiety and much more and to just have more fun.

[@MrPeteJahn]

Agree with all of this. Also, check out the various breed rescues. We have adopted a number of rescue dogs, and been very happy with results. Our latest came from LEARN - the Labrador rescue - but similar rescue groups exist for most breeds, at least here in the US. And, of course, keep your local humane society in mind.

[@isaned]

I got one from my great friend who is a registered breeder, who does a lot of things before you adopt, like genetic testing for diseases and problems, and the first set of shots. He's a great dog. Beautiful dog. He's a year old, and still learning, but he is coming along.

[@maddiestanley3667]

Thank you for being a responsible corgi owner and sharing all the reasons why corgis aren't an easy dog to own! I got lucky my little Asuka is great, and we got her from a good breeder, but it took a lot of work. Now, I volunteer with a corgi rescue to give time back to these good dogs that others weren't able to handle. (Also if you have any free time around Blizzcon, we're in Los Angeles if you would like to visit!) Great video and always happy to see Zelda and Midna helping with your work :)

[@augustq5721]

Love this video! I think this includes a lot of things people don’t think about when they get a dog. They’re such cuties!

[@oribrowne8521]

I've had a corgi for the past 11 years and many of these things are incredibly important

[@Reiko29DBS]

Thank you for this video. I've seen so many people just get a dog on an impulse and they do not have the time or want to even put the effort in to take care of them.

[@SakuraKagurazaka]

I had wanted a corgi FOREVER, and finally got one after I moved out. She turned 7 today and has been one of the highlights of my life. She's named Tali after Mass Effect. She's certainly been a handful but everyone loves her (Even my craft store ladies love seeing her walking around)

[@Sepidam]

I totally agree with her. I have a Corgi boy and she is right about energy level, shedding and cost

[@jack0cat]

Thanks for sharing this sometimes people do not realize how much of a responsibility any pet can be.

[@splitterd]

Thank you so much for supporting RESPONSIBLE breeders. Caps for emphasis! Responsible breeders are do not contribute to the shelter population. I also support RESPONSIBLE rescue! Many breeds have breed specific rescues run in cooperation with national breed clubs. Overall doing your research and taking the time to figure out which breed is right for you will save a lot of time, money, and heartache down the line.

[@sdnlawrence5640]

Thank you explaining what a commitment corgis (and others dogs & pets) are.

[@LivvieLynn]

Basically 3-4 walks, 2-3 meals, 1-2 hours play, 1-3 hours cuddling, 30 minutes training, every day. It's more surprsing that you don't think about it until you break it down. lol

[@garthhowe297]

One of the best dog adoption videos ever! Yes, they poo, pee, and shed everywhere. Even routine annual vet bills can be $500. But no matter what... they will greet you at the door like you have been gone "forever", and will be your best companion.

[@kassandraahuero7962]

💓 yes they are so worth it plus if it rains you have to dry them underneath I just wish they had a product that keeps their stomach dry but my boy little bit is worth it !

[@GeekyHan714]

I really appreciate mentioning about making sure you have the time, and room for pets. Same with the finances. I've seen people say about how they some months have to pick going a little hungry so their pet has food.. You should be in a solid enough situation that neither you, nor your pet go hungry.

[@davidrodriguez334]

I have never seen her videos or heard of her but all of a sudden I get my corgi today and she pops up in my recommended

[@recycledMilk]

the last few sentenses were the most important part of the video, finding a dog with the temperament, size and energy level that fits your lifestyle is the most crucial part, there are so many husky owners that wanna have a husky for how they look but just are not ready to get a such a specialized working dog. my BF and i were looking into getting a corgi aswell and after a lot of research we settled on a sighthound breed because their energy level is much closer to what we were looking for it really doesnt matter if someone wants the cute instagram-breed like a corgi, shiba or someyed when they ignore the care that goes into them thank you so much for this important PSA!

[@MysteryCorgi_VN]

Thank you so much for this video! I love critters too and it hurts my heart to see so many in shelters. My spouse and I volunteer when we can and frequently get followed home by strays or the neighborhood pets. Some years ago we housed a corgi who had been rescued from a puppy mil when he was very young. He'd had some trauma and behavioral issues but after a bit of love, time, and patience he really turned around! One time he tried rolling around in a duck carcass so I laughed when you mentioned the face-flopping in stinky things. It's very true! Thank you for this video again, I think some folks don't realize how much time/effort/funds are needed for critters, so I feel you've done a great service by being honest about it. :)

[@dragonstooth4223]

thanks for your honest opinion of the breed. We are getting two in a few days and you more or less confirmed they will be a good fit for us. It took us over a year of research to decide that a corgi would be the breed of dog we would go for after having two australian shepards. I was disappointed that when we finally decided to contact breeders that we were told because of lock downs, people were inquiring about puppies at ten times the normal rate. It sort of made me sad because they were probably making impulse decisions without considering these factors. Pets are family, not accessories.

[@diabolicalandi]

My adorable Corgi Pekingese mix has been with me for about 8 months now. It seems he had been abused by a man/men and was very anxious, barking at every sound. We've been working hard on those 2 behaviors, his barking's down by about 60% and he even lets some men pet him! So, a 7 year old rescue with no commands can learn with patience and consistency. I did have a previous dog for 14 years and learned to train him, so that was a huge help with my Corginese. This video is perfect for anyone's considering any dog because dogs aren't an accessory, rather like a child who never takes care of themselves. It's so rewarding in the end though. Happy family.

[@michelealdworth9297]

Hi there. Well done! Too many people get a pet for all the wrong reasons. I like to watch animal videos and Animal Planet. I truly want what is best for the animal as well as the people who come in contact with them. I love your videos and your fur babies. Thank you so much for all you do for them as well as the cosplay community. Take care and God bless.

[@francescajaminpatano9831]

I feel her so much since I have a lot of dogs, I'm really triggered to non committed people to their pets, what she is telling is very true . Nice video 😍

[@scifrygaming]

All dogs require a lot of your attention and cost a lot more then you would first think. Smaller dogs like Corgis and terriers have a lot of energy and live a long time. But, coming home to your best friend every day and just how stoked they are to see you make all the effort worth it!

[@HaruMaho88]

I'm always learning something new with my rabbits. They need just as much care as a dog or cat! I love that you named your Corgis after video game characters x3 My bunnies are names Vergil and Dante

[@alettafevy]

Thank you so much for being so authentic on your suggestions and tips!

[@JulianMakes]

What gorgeous doggies! I have a spaniel westie beagle mix from the rescue and she is the most adorable dog! Dogs are for life, and you are right to show other side to the cutesy idea of having a dog. Very entertaing to watch your corgos

[@barbaragriffin869]

Super video! I have been blessed to own three corgis in my life and your info was spot-on.

[@purpledragonfly4]

We're getting a male Pembroke Welsh Corgi in a few months! We went to meet the breeder, the parent dogs (mamma is pregnant and due in a few weeks!), the location and we are beyond excited! Our last dog was a Dachshund and he lived until 17. Cannot wait to get our boy home!!!

[@HolyHeinz]

You get a lot of love from every dog, you give a home!

[@Bakamoichigei]

I'm definitely a cat person, just too much of an introvert for dog ownership...but I will always harbor a soft spot for Corgis. From their floofiness, to their big ears, to those absurd little legs... They're too adorable!

[@GreenEnvyDesigns]

Time is exactly the reason we decided ages ago not getting any animals. We’d love a pet/ dog, but perhaps when we retire we are home enough to care for one properly :) very sensible video!

[@savon1710]

i love so much that you made this video!! this is such an important topic and its so good of you to speak about this.

[@damenaturedu91]

You are just amazing, in France, we'll never have this warning. Thank you to share a real passion. I have 1 snake, 2 betta fishes, 3 treefrogs and 1 cat, and I'm just totally agree with you about animal caring. unfortunatly, in France, we are again in the mentality : "Oh gosh, it's so cuuute buy one of them for our child" and many weeks later, you find the poor beast at APS (Animal protective society). In France we are sadly the first country whose abandonned the most animals :( so thank you to share and spread this mentality. It's very responsable for me and the community

[@19024]

i really liked this video! the moments you got serious and conversational with us felt really important and informative, i appreciate it

[@BlueUltima9999]

Great & Caring video ❤️🐶❤️ Thanks for making & sharing a message on responsible pet/fur-kid ownership 💗

[@TM-dq5lr]

Thank you for making this video!! It's terrifying to me that so many people don't consider how much work it is to properly care for a dog, especially working breeds like Corgis. I love dogs so much, but I'm more than content with my sweet and low-maintenence kitty!

[@sharonrose2751]

I rescued a Corgi. She has a few issues but I love her very much.

[@renax7890]

I hope their doing good :)

[@wildcard2741]

Came here for the corgies but felt in love with the girl 🥰😍💘 your accent and energy are super awesome!!!

[@KimmyElHornoBimbo]

This video is fantastic!! Tonnes of awesome information and advice to people wanting to get a dog. 🐕🐕

[@jessegaspard]

This is such a great video, and full of very important info. Corgis really do require a lot of effort and love, and it's important to know that. They're absolutely adorable with their perfect stumpy legs and fluffy butts, but some might want to stick to admiring from a distance than making the mistake of adopting one and finding out they take more than you're able to give.

[@Shiftarrr]

The last sentence of this video was perfect! I am convinced to do just that.

In general, don't get a pet if you don't have time, money, space, patience, and are ready for a commitment for years. Animals are living creatures and deserve a good life.

[@lilphoenix]

I love that you made a corgi PSA! They're such a popular breed because they're so cute, but they're a lot of work- more than a lot of other breeds, even. You even hit on the biggest things I think people don't realize: they shed like crazy, and while they're very smart this means they need very strict training or they'll get into lots of trouble! They can be great if you're prepared to put in the work, but a lot of people don't know what they're getting into.
