Hi Diane & welcome to gocorgi. Another thing that you might want to know, being a poodle person . . . CORGIS SHED!!!!!! You don't have to clip them, which is good, but you will have corgi hair all over the place (do a SEARCH here for shedding and read some of the threads). You didn't mention it as a qualification, but just thought it mught be a bit of a shock after poodles. And most corgis do bark also, as was stated above. You don't necessarily have to herd with them, but they do like to be active and have something to do. A bored corgi is a naughty corgi! Good luck!
ETA: Oops - just read your 2nd post and saw you mentioned shedding. Sorry.
