Corgis tend to be a bit bossy with other dogs, and also get into other dogs' physical space, so you want something that is pretty laid back and tolerant. Usually dogs like labs and beagles are fairly tolerant of Corgi herding tendencies.

My Ein does great with our trainers Australian Shepherds. I think they would do well with a corgi.

Becca neighborhood bff is a lab mix, and she gets along well with my mother's lab. However she does not like the dominant lab across the street. (Labs have a doggy odor though...) Becca also loves a friends havenese, but tends to herd smaller dogs.
Are you thinking of getting a puppy or an adult? Do you want a dog more laid back than a corgi? What other criteria do you have?

Our Aussie does great with all our corgis and there's more than 1 size. I know several people who have labs with their corgis also.

I think corgis and labs get along GREAT. Franklin's best friend is a lab and he tends to get along great with all labs he meets. I know a lot of the corgi owners at my work had either labs or lab mixes in the house as well.
I think in general the temperament of labs is so much more tolerant and laid back. I'd probably steer clear of another herding dog or bossy breed (such as huskies, bully breeds, etc) if you have a somewhat bossy or dominant dog already. If you have a very laid back dog it won't matter the breed.
Franklin's favorite breed he has lived with so far is a cat! Lol. He plays more and puts up with a lot more from my kitten (well cat now, but she will always be my kitten!) than he did from any dog.

Butters lived with our two family shelties for over a year and they all got along so well. They were all females and all spayed. The cutest thing was that the shelties FRAPPED too so they would all run in circles forever! Those shelties were the sweetest girls and extremely obedient. Butters was definitely the boss of the group though! Haha. Once again, we are staying with my parents but sadly we lost the two shelties, and she is now staying with their 8 month old female King Charles Cavalier Spaniel (that's a mouthful)! They get along fairly well and Butters has sort of taken on a mothering role with her. Now, Butters does not like larger breeds. We stayed with friends with two male labs and she was scared the entire stay. She did get along with a my cousin's boxer though. Overall, I vote shelties! They are both in the herding breeds, so they share characteristics. Just make sure you don't mind a lot of brushing, but surprisingly a lot less shedding. :)

PS- I do have to agree with Melissa that you have to be a little careful with the combining herding breeds, which shelties are. We personally had zero problems, and they were all females which supposably can be the hardest to mingle. We were lucky, but I would recommend getting the opposite gender of what you currently own.

We have a lab and she gets along very well with my cousins corgi. They will wrestle and play all the time and they both kinda exclude other dogs that try to play with them. Lol I think labs are great dogs in general but Im a bit biased because all we have ever had were labs. I'm hoping when I get my own corgi it will be no different.

We have a black lab and they are best friends, Hannah (my lab) is so sweet and calm when Gus is a brat she just tolerates it and ignores him.

My Parents have border collies and they LOVE each other. We have a hard time separating them when it's time to leave. They're either playing or cuddling at all times. Just our experience :)

You should choose a breed based on what you want in a dog. Which breed will suit your lifestyle the best? There are plenty of breeds who are compatible with Corgis but they may have very different grooming requirements, energy levels, trainability etc.
Personally, I think any breed can be compatible with any other breed (or mixed breed for that matter). You just have to seek a compatible temperament and personality.
In broad terms, dogs in the same group will tend to go well together as they will share temperament traits and often have the same playing style. For example, Corgis were bred for herding and so were breeds like German Shepherds, Swedish Vallhunds, Border Collies and Australian Shepherds. I have found that people who own German Shepherds and Corgis say they are VERY similar, almost like a Corgi is just a small version of a German Shepherd, as their traits are so similar. I have owned a Swedish Vallhund and they are also a very similar breed to Corgis, I would definitely recommend them to Corgi owners as a breed to research.

Our corgi has MANY German Shepherd dog friends he plays with. He chases them, they chase him, and the Shepherds lay down to get to his level so they can "mouth play" together. The corgis are built so solid, and they roll while playing, that they don't get hurt by the bigger dog.....but his is just my experience
