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 would not think twice if I were you! A second corgi would be great and with your dog being 3 either a pup or a rescue would be fine. I would try to match their personalities! When you are gone they also will have companionship!
Go for it...you'll love it and enjoy all the new adventures!

I think you are safe in getting a second. We definitely want another. They are not like cats where if you have one it will love you and pay attention to you and as soon as you get a second it no longer needs your companionship. Dogs will love you no matter what. Having a 2nd one would give your Corgi a playmate to help burn off energy and hang out with when you're not home.
My husband wants an Irish Wolfhound but I don't think that would be an appropriate size playmate for a Corgi. :)

Oh I would love a Wolfhound too! But I decided that it may have too much fun living in the country!

They are beautiful dogs but I can't see Finn rough housing with a giant like that. Not that he wouldn't want to but I don't want him getting hurt. My husband originally wanted a Scottish Deerhound but I like the Wolfhounds better.

i am not so sure that corgis care about size. my dog's favorite playmate is my son's old english sheepdog

Oh I know, Finnigan loves big dogs, I just wouldn't want a big dog pouncing on his back constantly. He has tried to play with or neighbor's Great Dane and she is too heavy for him. She knocks him over, pounces on him, tramples him etc. He yelps and comes back for more, silly mutt.

I agree here, Loki loves playing with the english mastiff in the neighbourhood.

We got Al partly to keep Gwynnie company, and I think it's worked out quite well. They do play together.
I have heard of two females not getting along.
I've heard it's good to introduce them on neutral territory, although Al was brought straight into our home as a puppy.
It IS more work, but not twice as much work.
If you get a ball-hog like Al, you'll need to throw 4 balls at a time, so the other can get one whilst the ball-hog is busy with the other 3.

We just added a second corgi to our house. Isabelle was a surrender and is about the same age as Spencer...we love her to pieces!!!! Spencer has never been more active or happy. They are best friends! She has added so much energy and fun to our house, I cannot imagine life without her!

Two are great fun and walking and feeding are really not twice the work at all. I love watching their interactions with each other.
If you work full time, you may have trouble finding time to train both of them the way you were able to devote time to the one. When we just had Jack, if I was working on something new I would just randomly take a few minutes out every day or even a few times a day to work with him.
Now, I need to lock one up to work with the other. Finding time to do individual leash work with one, and still get their exercise in for both of them, can be tough. When we are practicing simple things like "stay" that Jack already knows, I can work with them both at the same time, but for brand new things or more advanced training, it's definitely a challenge when you have two.
I love having two Corgis and on balance prefer it to just having one. I don't regret my decision to get a second. But I definitely lost a little something too. Like most things in life, there is a trade-off.
