There is a saying that "you get on my goat" - not true with you.
Well, my husband might object if you get on my goat.

Yes, the husky was a bad digger, very obstinate and stubborn, and even with food/praise reward system, he was difficult to get trained. Plus they are a LOT of energy and big... he loved to pull and would pull me, my daughter and my soon to be detached arm down the street behind him. *smile* I miss Corona a lot though, even though he was obstinate! (note: I did NOT name the dog)

Please tell me Corgi's aren't so stubborn, and easier to train! I like that Corgi's are a "big" dog personality in a smaller body. I do walk/jog a lot, and while I ADORE pugs, I can not fit that fragile and small of a dog in my lifestyle. I want to be able to have a dog I can occasionally jog with (note: not run), one that I can raise from a puppy with my cats and one that is tolerant of children.

I don't mind barking as I am home alone with my daughter all day and would appreciate a loyal watchdog. NOT that I will train the dog to watch, but a mindful animal is appreciated. Pugs just love everyone whereas I've heard that Corgi's are a little more owner focused and loyal.

Am I on the right track?
