As a former owner of 5 Corgis, 1988-2021 this is spot on. I have been asked so many times about the pros and cons and recommend this video for anyone considering a Corgi. They live 12-15 years, one of mine to 16.5. *NOT A GOOD CHOICE FOR: Potential owners that did no research before buying, dont have the home or finances to maintain a dogs' needs for 12+ years, Homes with toddlers or inconsiderate rough teasing kids, Corgis know when being mistreated and will defend themselves (this is why some wind up in shelters) Those allergic to dogs, 1 Corgi sheds as heavily as a husky, Homes with no backyard, a backyard is a must. Those who are gone from home most of the time, they will bark a lot, annoy neighbors, I had one chew his way out of his crate, be destructive, my last one chewed a hole in my kitchen floor when I went out to lunch for about an hour, he was about 6 mos. old. (Getting another dog is best for separation anxiety in dogs), Those that are neat freak fanatic housekeepers, with a Corgi, you will wear, eat, sleep, clean up dog hair every day. Split their high quality food into 2 meals a day with few low cal treats, overweight effects their backs, also too many human food treats they can develop pancreatitis, diabetes and the vet bills pile up. These all are reasons some can wind up in shelters. With growing popularity, puppy mills, backyard breeders cranking them out causing genetic and behavioral issues to crop up. Go to a reputable breeder, good ones will size you up to see if YOU are the right owner for their Corgis, wait for a well bred litter, pay the extra money, expect to pay $1500 on up.

This is so funny because my friend's corgi isn't like this at all! She's the quietest, sweetest, dog I've ever known, and she never bites or jumps on people!

My corgi does not bark much. My wife worked on that from the start. He is four years old and still herds me. He does not nip he just bumps me with his nose. I have never had a dog that loves all people like Harper does. He communicates with me at an incredible level. Sometimes I am shocked. He is very protective of me and shows his love through concern. He is my friend and like a friend he does not listen to me. However he knew what hold and stay meant from day one.
Here is how it works. If you own a corgi you own a robot vacuum. Unless you like being chased by hair balls.
I do wish he had a tail. That is 50% of a dogs personality.

My first dog was a Corgi. We we t to an off-leash beach and there were kids running around. Yep. In a few minutes, Buddy had herded them into a small group. I had to walk them back to their different parents and apologize.

My corgi didn't turn into a couch potato until she was nearly 14, she's just over 16 now and STILL likes to dash around a couple times a day. I got a puppy recently and he loves to play, getting his exercise isn't a problem. Luckily he gets plenty of time to play with my parents corgi and other dogs when I'm at work. They do shed, constantly. You better love fur if you get one. I was surprised to see that this video got it right, I was worried it was click bait-ey.

Pembroke corgis are headstrong. If you don’t have the time or patience to show them who’s boss, don’t get one! I have had 5 . They all had different personalities. I love them!

My Corgi Monster can differentiate between the sounds of every other type platic bag i bring into the house and his treat bags. He is also such a great best buddy. Cold camping he is the perfect size to zip into my sleeping bag with me.. instant heater!!

[GeorgeMcConnell-nqvd]

The selective hearing is so true. My Corgi can hear a moth flying ten feet away. But call him when he is doing his own thing, forget it.

[anthonylim]

I had a corgi.. extremely smart and had a personality and a half. Very lovely, friendly, and very trainable. Couldn't ask for a better friend. I still miss her so much even after many years... I took her everywhere with me. We slept together every night. My heart sinks everytime I see a corgi to this day.

[chitownbangin]

This was actually really spot on and not just clickbait.

[susanauten]

Very intuitive! Seem to know just when you need a hug!

Our family got its first corgi 60 years ago. They've been my favorite ever since. Everything you said here is true! I wish more people would educate themselves, even on basic dog knowledge. I encountered several people at dog parks who would criticize my dog's vocal style. I would just tell them he has a lot to say. I also might add that he has very explicit instructions and he is just making sure everyone understands his rules. He definitely loved to boss the whole park! He went to boss in the big park across the bridge a few months ago and I miss him terribly...

Thank you for this video! So many people buy a corgi without actually looking at their needs.

[michellemitchell]

Wish i were warned how much i would fall in love. I love everything about my boy. Worth every hair of his that i now wear as my own. He is my best friend❤

8:44 I love corgis and I still love them

[Keonyte]

I own 2 corgis and this is the first video I've ever seen that accurately describes what people should know about the breed imo. So many people don't realize that they are docked in America and that needs to change!

[MikkiandtheMouse]

I inherited a corgi and the shedding has been by far the most insane part of owning a corgi. Also, be prepared for all the corgi questions, as a corgi owner, I didn't know I'd need to be able to give so much corgi information to random strangers. Also, be prepared that everywhere you go, your corgi will get love and attention, on walks we regularly have cars drive by slowly and yell things like "I LOVE YOUR DOG" "YOUR DOG IS SO CUTE" or just simply "CORGI!!"

[bhoward]

I didn't know about the jumping factor, that's good to know now as we've only had our little pup for a week as of today. The rest of these tips... we read/watched prior to deciding to add this little family member.

Corgis are also the master of manipulation. Mine can somehow convince ANY of my visiting friends or family members to give her a treat.

[janetjennings]

I did have a beautiful corgi named Sam❤ HE was my heart and soul, they're smarter than anyone realizes, and more loving and loyal. I miss my little guy everyday. Love you and miss you Sammy my baby boy everyday for the rest of my life I will see you again one day my butt- butt❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
