Unsolicited advice: if you're getting a puppy, spend a LOT of effort on training in the first year. It will SO pay off. One thing I wish I'd done:
Keep a training log. Make a list of all commands you want to teach, and some system to keep you on-task. If you live with a partner(s), make sure everybody is on the same page, doing the same thing. The dog gets really confused if different people treat it differently. My wife and I made this mistake (eg., we had different walking styles and expectations). Be consistent.
Our corgwyn tolerate water when they are thrown in, and it's not too cold. I bathe them by bringing them into the shower with me. They'll ford a mountain stream when there's no alternative. If you throw your corgi's tennis ball into a lake or the jaws of Hell, (s)he'll go get it.
