ooo... I hadn't thought about a Corgi... wouldn't that be like a large dog in a small body? Best of both worlds!

Lol Bit. Before I got my Tibetan terrier, I was thinking about a Corgi. They are rather alpha, and take some training, or they'll run the house. But my saying that they are "almost a real dog, like a shepherd with sawed off legs" did not go down well with my friend who has two of them.

Oh myyyy Terry, no, I wouldn't think it would go over well. *rueful laugh* Although I confess, when I first got Lady (after having had big dogs), I said something similar---"that's not a dog! It's just a doglet!"

She's been the doglet ever since, even when she got up to twenty pounds, lol!

One of the things I like about this thread is that so many people have mentioned various rescue organizations. I hadn't heard of some of them before, and it's good to have them listed!

Westies are great dogs for elderly people. They're always interested in what you're doing. They need to be with you "helping". Very active and playful when young but there are lots of calmer older rescues are out there. They take daily combing, and need a face trim every few months and a field cut in the summer is helpful. They are tough little guys, bred to take down small deer and dig out badgers from their dens.

It's dogs like this I think of when I look for a dog to adopt. They need us every bit as much as we need them. Link to sweetness.
