Sheltie vs. Corgi - Toker's Den - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hey,
So I am thinking about getting my first dog since living with my parents. Since I live in an apartment I have to get a small dog (I would love to be able to get a lab) and I am trying to decide on a good breed. So far I think it has come down to a Sheltie

vs a Corgi .

Anyone have any experience with either breed that can give me a recommendation in one way or another? Anything else that I may be missing? I'm looking for something fairly frisky that I can play frisbee and catch with, rough house with, etc. Though ideally it'll also be content to curl at my feat when I am up the early mornings programing.

Having a liking for the marijuana wouldn't be bad either. Speaking of which, does anyone ever get their pets high? I know the beagle my parents have love it.

(Can't ask that type of question on the dog forums I've been reading too, probably get a lot of angry replies, lol)

I have owned many types of dogs. Two of which are shelties (inherited from a family member). I really love dogs, but the shelties are the dumbest I have ever encountered. They can be mean little bastards too. Best dog I ever owned was a full blood cocker spaniel male. Extremely smart. And loved to smoked out. Every time I lit up he would come running right into my lap to veg out with me.

That's interesting, I have always heard of Shelties being so intelligent. Hmm

i've never owned a sheltie, but i've had friends and family that have.... personally i think they are lacking in personality they all seem the same to me.... kinda just there.... never really excited and when they are it's still not very excited. i dunno... just my 2 cents, not my breed i spose, but some folks love em.... not exactly what i'd consider a rough housing dog....

Corgi's are a bit lower maintainance, and are smart as a whip!

As you all know I am a fan of the bully. If I were to get a small dog, and someday I will, it will be a Boston Terrier. High energy , non-aggressive and best of all, they don't bark much. Probably the quietest of the lil dogs.

I would say go with the Corgi. I had a beautiful female, she was a wonderful dog, got stolen out of my yard... :( She was VERY smart, housetrained easily, very loveable, AND she LOVED weed! She would eat little buds I dropped, and would sit there waiting patiently when I was smoking, waiting for a hit. I would call her over, blow a hit in her face slowly, and she would sit there licking the air. 2 or 3 of those and she was happy. Goddamn I miss her.

BTW, there is two different types of Corgi, Pembroke and Cardigan. I had a Pembroke, the Cardigan is quite a bit bigger.

My Girlfriend has a Sheltie. Its really smart. It can pick up different items off the floor , if you call out bone , it gets the bone , if you call out dog , it goes and gets teh stuffed dog. I knows about a dozen different names of its toys.

The only thing I dont like about her sheltie (pinky) is that she is very loud and will bark at anything. The barks are ear piercing. My neigbor owns a sheltie too , his isnt loud AT ALL though. Strange.

Shelties are little bastards with a real mean streak in them....perhaps due to EXCESSIVE INBREEDING (hmmm....). Corgis, though, are really fun, and they have great personalities...great with kids, smart, good for hunting moles LOL. If I was able to have a dog right now, it'd be a Corgi, springer spaniel, or bloodhound. I like pheasant.
