Talking

I am no expert and I think there are alot of variables here. First of all are we still talking corgis or all breeds? I have owned several females vs males of different breeds and I now own two male corgis (neutered) and a little female corgi (just 5 months old) and I will say from observation and having raised her since she was 8 weeks old as well as the two boys, that there difinitely is a big difference in male vs female personalities. My boys tend to be much more agreeable and willing to go along with the program. Taffy will go along with the program as long as it fits into her agenda. She is much more yappy and will vocalize her displeasure at a drop of a hat. She tries to boss the two boys with her yapping and then tries her female wiles on them if that doesn't work and if all that fails, then she has been known to start a scrap or two. (time outs work great for that) but then she struts out in front of the boys like a hardened criminal just leaving prison. She also is very cuddly and loving. More so then the boys but she is afraid of some things and looks for the boys to protect her. The three give us many hours of entertainment but I will say that I would definitely not want two female corgis. Chip can also hold his bladder for 12 hours but I don't encourage it. I would think over a period of time, it wouldn't be healthy for a dog to hold it that long. I will add that I think it all depends on the personality of the dog. My boys look at her like a pesky little sister and sometimes when they are outside they will hide on her, other times they will wait for her to follow them. Too funny these three.
