I believe that there are some people who shouldnt get a corgi. Corgis are not aggressive dogs - however any dog who is poorly trained or socialized can show aggression. I think that people need to do research on the breeds they chose BEFORE buying that petstore doggy who is so cute. Corgis were bred to herd large farm animals, they are intelligent, fast learning little dogs with a lot of heart and spirit, they are strong willed and therefore the owner of such a breed needs to be stronger willed or the corgi will be the alpha dog in the home. I go nuts when i hear about people who get a dog that have no clue what they are getting only becuase it was cute. and then later they are upset with that breed for doing what comes naturally for it. For the record, i spent months researching the corgi before i chose the breed, and then another few months finding the right breeder and then a few more months waiting for my puppy's mom to be bred and to have her puppies all the while i was still reading and learning everything i could from housebreaking to training, to corgi traits etc. I have a very good corgi who is completly non-aggressive with dogs, cats, people and knows his place in our pack, we are the alpha dogs here.
