more than one corgi?
for those of you who have more than one corgi. this may sound silly.
but... do you think its better to have just one or more than one. i really enjoy my corgi and would like another one, but i need to think it over and talk to people with experience.

I love having two. They play together and my husband and I each have a dog! They are really social and seem to bond well with each other. The first will probably bound best with you and the second dog usually bonds better with the other dog. You do need to train separately once in a while and they rarely shed at the same time but it is really fun to see them play. Alice, as far as big dogs we also have a doberman. I just don't let them play unless they stay still. The dobe is not the smartest but she figured out that she can lay on the floor and wrestle with Izzy. It is cute too. That being said, you really have to be careful with the big dogs, corgis don't always recognize their physical limitations.

I bet that is cute to see. :) I wouldn't want to have to supervise them all the time though. When we eventually move into a house (which is when we would add a 2nd dog) we would have a doggy door so they can go in and out while we're at work and this would be difficult if we had a big dog that needed to be supervised.
You're right, Finn does think he is superdog but I know better. Even when he plays with my Mom's Cardi I have to tell him when to stop because I know he'll end up limping. If we had a 2nd Corgi I don't think he would over do it as he does with my Mom's dog. He just gets so excited to see Quinn since they don't live together. I'd love to have a little girl Cardi so my husband and I each have a dog!

I agree that having two is definitely not twice the work, and it is twice the joy. We adopted our corgi mix as a buddy for our Pem and they get along very well despite having different personalities and having both been rescues with totally unknown backgrounds. I can't imagine not having both. They play and rough-house and sleep together. But we do absolutely have to throw two frisbees or two tennis balls at the same time - otherwise, an unpleasant tug-o-war or fight can ensue. And thank goodness for having two hands for simultaneous belly rubs!

We recently got a second corgi. It took about two days and then they were getting along really well. The only bone of contention is food. Know one gets in the way of Buddy's food. They definately love to rough house. It is amazing how carefull Buddy is with his new little brother. We are definately happy we got a second corgi.

Having just gone through this...Bear was such an EASY puppy, he house broke in a matter of two weeks, loved his crate, was polite to visitors, etc. I got Goldy in October. She is the opposite. She's a LOT more "feisty" than Bear ever was, her housebreaking didn't, and still isn't going as well as his did. Bear, who has always LOVED his crate barks incessantly when I put him in there to work with Goldy on her training.
Now, emotionally - they love each other dearly - they play together, chase each other around the house, steal toys from each other just for the sake of doing it - they stalk each other when they think the other isn't looking - two sweet faces look up at me when I get home and tell me how much they missed me - two tongues lick my face in the morning and my heart is completely full of love for them.

Daisy definitely needed a playmate! The addition of Poppy to our family has been wonderful. The first few hours after we brought Poppy home were rough.... but by the next day they were romping around the house like long lost friends.

I have adopted my first one only over a month ago and the thought of having a second one is already racing through my mind. LOL
I understand about the added expense, additional work and making sure that they along. What I want to know is how long should I wait, or do I need to wait, before adding a second?
Thanks.

Albert,
I would wait a few months so that your 1st can get everything figured out before adding a second. I added 1 a year and that way they have some time to bond with you and learn the "rules".

melvin, thanks for answering. there is just one thing i am worried about with getting another corgi.
did your first corgi "forget" about you or ( and i know this sounds absolutely crazy) do you really have more fun with another or more?
