FUCK YES CORGIS!!!
I have owned a few. They are very smart dogs.
They were cattle herding dogs, can get in low and nip at the feet of their herd. That instinct is still in them very strong.
This my current Corgi, Sachi.

Joss, your Corgi seems to have a slimmer looking face than most I've seen. Is there a reason for that (breed-wise, I mean), or are most Corgis just fat-asses?

Most fit pembroke welsh corgis look like him (minus the one floppy ear).
My previous corgi was a fatty, much bigger than this one.
They tend to get fat fairly easily, you really have to work them out. Its not that hard, they are very active dogs. My corgi can get a good two feet of air catching the frisbee if he gets a good run.
Just another random pic, when he was like 2 or 3 months old.

Actually dobermans, rottweilers and german shepherds are. They are all among the most fearless breeds, but are also in the top 10 for intelligence and obeying orders. AFAIK, boxers are one of the dumber dog breeds and can be very stubborn.

My cousin had a corgi and it was pretty cool, hyper as shit though the thing would never sit still.
I really want one of these, I'm just never going to have the time to take care of one. My aunt and uncle live in Michigan and they have a couple, some of the coolest dogs I've ever seen.

Aww, Huskies are absolutely awesome dogs. Soooooo much work though! Our [urban] environment doesn't quite suit their needs. I have to say, it kind of pisses me off seeing these types of dogs in places where they have no space to run
