Corgis are adorable

There's something about the squishy little faces, stocky legs and disproportionate ears of corgis that make them irresistible. Plus, their lively personalities and eagerness to please make them an ideal choice for families with kids or for those living in an apartment!

B

Corgis have great temperaments

Corgi dogs are known for their good nature and boundless energy, making them an excellent choice for families with young kids. They tend to be protective yet gentle, loyal and affectionate - great qualities for any pet parent to appreciate.

C

Corgis are smart and trainable
