<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Our corgi, Sonny, will be 2 years old end of July. We are thinking of adding another. Our dog is well trained and well socialized. We have fostered dogs and have had dogs come over to visit, and he is very accepting. I'm wondering.............for those of you who have 2 corgis......can you describe life with 2 corgis? Good and Bad?</p>

Great advise. My Cody was 2 1/2 when we got our female. It would have been really hard to have 2 puppies at the same time. Ours get along great and Lucy actually brought out more of the playfulness in Cody. We almost got 3 but decided to stick with 2. Cody is closer to me and Lucy to my husband so we have the number just right I think.

<p>Thank you, Sam, for the in-depth insight! Back in our 20's, we had two dachshunds, and I swore I'd not have more than one dog at a time after that. Yes, they loved each other, and we loved them, but they could become out-of-control together (we were young then too, with 2 boys, 2 jobs, etc). Now that we are empty-nesters, and I stay home, life has changed! I know that I will train my puppy well. No distractions anymore, plenty of time. However, I will start with Cody and look no…</p>
<p>Thank you, Sam, for the in-depth insight! Back in our 20's, we had two dachshunds, and I swore I'd not have more than one dog at a time after that.

Now that we are empty-nesters, and I stay home, life has changed! I know that I will train my puppy well. No distractions anymore, plenty of time. However, I will start with Cody and look no further for now. He will be traveling with us occassionally, going on bike rides (in his trailer), and will have plenty of doggie friends here in our neighborhood. I will cross the two-dog bridge should it ever come! For now....waiting to pick up my new baby on Wednesday! So anxious and excited. I'm all set: crate, bed, doggie couch, play corral, bike trailer, toys, food, harness, leash, ID tag, and lots of love here! Will post pictures in a few days!</p>

This was so helpful. We are weighing the positives and negatives of adding a new corgi to our family, and this was very enlightening. I hate to say it but we did want another because we thought Paisley needed a buddy. Glad to know she isn't lonely!

I am responding to Cathi. We just finished week one of new corgi pup Fergi's arrival, into the world of 9 year old Minnie. Right now the big issue is with food. I definitely have to separate them at feeding time. So far not a lot of ownership jealousy. Minnie started out as our baby, and then 3 more human children followed. She settled into her back seat in the pack pretty nicely. Right now, and again we are only a week in, Minnie seems to tolerate Fergie as long as she still gets morning…
I am responding to Cathi. We just finished week one of new corgi pup Fergi's arrival, into the world of 9 year old Minnie. Right now the big issue is with food. I definitely have to separate them at feeding time. So far not a lot of ownership jealousy. Minnie started out as our baby, and then 3 more human children followed. She settled into her back seat in the pack pretty nicely. Right now, and again we are only a week in, Minnie seems to tolerate Fergie as long as she still gets morning coffee with mommy, and playtime at night with daddy. Fergie is also very reserved and seems to know her place. It's funny though, because she definitely is trying to wear Minnie down. So far, so good. We definitely took a chance, and it's a lot of work keeping everyone happy. If I wasn't nuts, I would follow Sam's solid advice:).

Thanks Sam, very timely for us as we've been discussing getting another corgi through one of the local corgi rescue groups. One of the reasons, I'm embarrassed to say now, is that Bunny is home during the day by herself and I hoped for a pal for her. The down side is that two dogs would not be welcome in my mom's house during the day, whereas my mom enjoys Bunny's company and frequently takes her to her home or for a car ride.<br />

Bunny does get a bit possessive or anxious when I'm petting our two cats, and now thinking about it, it would be a bit for her to get used to with another dog. It would be a delicate transition for all adding another dog. I'm her person, and would be for the other dog as well. Hmmm . . . something to think about.<br />
Bunny is 8 and we're looking at another dog her age, male, or older.<br />
My biggest concern is of course Bunny and our two cats,
