We recently purchased a house and will have to move away from our current rental situation, which means we won't be able to take Freya and Hoover with us as they are very active dogs and our new place won't have a big enough yard space for them. Not to worry though! They will stay at my parents' place, which they love doing already anyway, and which has plenty of back yard to have fun in and explore.
Anyway, we're looking at getting another more inside-friendly dog and we're both quite interested in corgis.
Who on here owns a corgi?
What are their temperaments like?
Are they the sort of dog that is ok with being on its own at home during regular working hours?
I've heard they like to bark and nip a lot, is this true?
How trainable are they?
Since the dag thread closed a little while ago, I figured this was the next best place to ask.

I can't find it now, but Frogman.me has had a whole lot of advice about owning a corgi, and basically, they are really, really energetic, and they're probably only a good dog if you've got a lot of space to go for walks and just for them to run around and stuff.
This is just stuff that I've read somewhere, so I'm not entirely sure about everything, but the general gist that I've seen is that they need a lot of space.
The general line on corgis is that they're intelligent dogs and will get bored if they don't have things to do. In this case, "get bored" means "get destructive".
Also, they will try to herd things, especially children and other pets.
On the flip side, corgis are also the best. It's all official and stuff.
Big dogs are often better for small places/apartments, because they generally don't have a lot of energy. (By which I mean seriously big dogs, not like, labs or retrievers). That said, you gotta be prepared for the food bills.

scout is half corb-half border collie
temperament depends more on the individual dog; however corgs tend to very playful, energetic and loyal if not stubborn sometimes
scout was likely abandoned when I first adopted him, so he was super upset when I would leave, but if you get a routine when you leave along with a lot of toys and a safe place, they can be fine
both barking and nipping can generally be trained away, and scout only barks at a few very specific things and never really nips
extremely trainable, they're a very bright breed that need to be engaged physically and mentally

Cows are generally chill as hell as long as you don't make any sudden loud noises.
oh, sure. But they REALLY like dogs. You bring a dog near a cow paddock and the whole lot of them will absolutely have to come over and check it out and say hi. As long as the dog isn't freaking out, anyway.
Uh, there have been a few incidents here in the Alps where people with dogs were attacked (and in two cases, I think, killed) by cows
It probably depends a lot on other factors, but experts said you should anticipate cows reacting to the presence of dogs and this can sometimes take place as outright aggression

She's not mad. She was on a bus and I'm pretty sure unsecured pets aren't allowed.
this is actually a pretty accurate depiction of me snowboarding.

I know that Corgis are not overly fond of stairs, due to having a normal sized torso with tiny legs.

That's NO good!
I'm just gonna start spinning in a circle like this, and if you get in the way it's your own fault!

Gotta go flop.
This looks like my cat
Except my cat would just bury her face in my palm instead of flop like that.
That or try to curl up on my neck.
the other six she lies on her front.

Even cows love bull dogs. This proves that my wish to own a bull dog is best despite their health issues.
