What It's Like To Own One

Living with a Corgi feels like cohabiting with a cartoon sidekick: expressive, cheerful, and occasionally dramatic. They’ll herd your kids, follow you from room to room, and then flop belly-up like it’s a royal decree.\n\nThey do best with engaged owners who enjoy interaction and humor. While they’re small, they have big opinions—and even bigger hearts.
