Corgi's compared to other dogs I know. - 03-11-2007, 06:55 PM

The more I see what Bailey can do the more impressed I am. I have educated myself about Corgis and what they can do, but it's still impressive to see it in action. Lots of people say a Corgi is a small dog with a big dog attitude. Now I understand what they mean.
He goes to the dog park most days for an hour or two. Typically there will be 7 or 8 dogs there, and on weekends sometimes as much as 20. Today he spent a lot of the time playing with a black Mastif. He has more fun with medium and big dogs. He likes the Great Danes, the Dobermans, the Rotweilers etc. Once in a while a puppy his size will wrestle with him. He has never show any aggresion to any dogs. He does jump up on the huge dogs and tugs on the left ear to get things started. But no one gets upset, it's wrestle or chase time. It's not fight club. He loves to wrestle with the biggest Husky I have ever seen. It's quite a sight too see a Corig on top of a huge Husky, when the Husky is on his back on the ground. Then they trade places.

I watch him every second to see if he will be OK when wrestling with a big dog. He's always fine. It's one of his favorite things. He loves to be chased by or to chase a big dog. The other small dogs might be to fragile for Bailey. He goes where I want, when I want, and will go to a dog or a person on command or return and will say "hi" too. He will leave the cats alone if I tell him too. Today I had him get the frisbee out of the mud for me, he was already muddy, and I was not.
I know this is not something amazing for a herding breed. But now I see how easy it would be to train him to herd. He's almost there now. He looks at me for instructions all the time. Most of the other dog owners are impressed at what he wil do for me.
