I got Yoda from a breeder out in Iowa. Basically I knew hardly a thing about Yoda's personality before getting him. I do know that he came from a family where he was very socialized, and had a chance to play with children. I looked at sooo many Corgi's puppies online. I had also seen one in a pet store for $1,200, and I thought the price was ridiculous. Even though they were saying I could take the dog home that very same day if I opened a line of credit w/ them... I was not going to fall into that trap! I really wanted that puppy at the pet store, especially b/c his bday was the day before mine! Anyway, being a college student, the price at the pet store was way too much for me to afford. So, I took my search online. I was mainly looking for one that was cute, and chubby, with nice colors/markings. I was also looking for a breeder that had good feedback, had a reasonable shipping rate, and for a puppy that wasn't over $500. I had saved around 9 choices, and I finally picked out my "Yoda." He has turned out to the be the sweetest, friendliest, and most loving puppy. He is so quiet, obedient, and well-behaved. He's of course, very smart too! I did a lot of research on Corgi's before buying one. I got to interact w/ the one at the pet store, and from all my research, I just KNEW that a corgi was the right breed of dog for me. I'm very petite, so a Corgi is a good-sized dog for me. Almost every girl I know has those tiny, little chihuahua's, like Paris Hilton's. So, I wanted a different type of dog. I wasn't so much into the tiny, yappy dogs. They seem very needy & fragile. One thing great about them-- they fit in your purse. Yoda, is going to be more of the "duffle bag" dog. Yoda's personality has turned out to be quite similar to mine. It's funny how dogs can be just like their owners, isn't it? It just so happens, Yoda, ends up having a bday the day before my mom's

I love him so much. You will be happy with whatever Corgi you pick. Go by your instincts.
