I agree with John, on some level you must embrace the fur and accept that it is part of owning a Corgi.  As I look down at my keyboard I see Corgi fur.  As I sat eating dinner tonight I noticed a stray Corgi fur on the table.  We try to keep up with the vacuuming and sweeping and dusting but to paraphrase a line from the movie "Jurassic Park,"  Corgi fur will find a way.

Omg. Fur frenzy here at my house too with two corgies. One fluffy and one smooth. Oddly my smooth coat sheds worse. Just have to brush brush and u think u have I brush some more. I really like my cyclone Hoover vac for pet hair. Works great. Every tme I dump the canister it looks likes like I just dumped a rabbit in the trash. Lol

haha! That is the only thing that really gets me -- the fur on my bed, esp the pillow.. I woke up today with it in my mouth. Awesome.

Just finished picking some Corgi hair out of the batter for my Easter dessert before baking it.

That's step 7 in most recipes, right?

Think of it as roughage, we all could use a little more fiber in our diet, right?

Potus blows his coats every month or so. We don't have a furminator or a Dyson. We do have a vacuum that specialises in pet fur though and Po's fur managed to clog the whole thing up anyway. What we have learnt is the power of the rubber broom. It does all kinds of floors and we just sweep over the whole entire house, the broom gathering the fur into bigger clumps before we pick them up. Then we vacuum, though if we don't have enough time the rubber broom does a passable job on its own.

Its a broom that instead of having normal bristles has rubber bristles.  We got ours from a hardware store. This isn't exactly the same as ours (we're in Australia) but it will give you an idea:

There is a well known joke among the Taiwanese Corgi community, "How many times does a Corgi blow their coat a year?"  The answer is "Twice a year and each time last six months."

Ha!  Good one, David.  At 1 1/2 years old Gromit has yet to blow his coat but he does shed constantly far beyond the level of our first two Corgis who had coats of a slightly different texture.  Gromit has a lot of long fur, he has what's called a "glamor coat," and I'm afraid that if or when he actually blows his coat there may be a small explosion.  Hopefully our little wiener dog will be able to get clear of the blast zone or she may suddenly go from a short coat to a long one herself.
