I've known many Shepherd owners who had Corgis...they call them the legless shepherd. I also love the big ears, long tails, and huge assortments of colors the Cardies come in. When I go small, I'm going Cardi. That way I don't have to get all new scent articles, dumbbells, and such in new sizes. Pam Oh yea I love this breed, so easy to handle and they do great in the ring. every command i give my cardi she usually gets in a second. I love her and shes sooooo pretty, one of the big reasons why i got a cardi was because they look so much like shepherds just with stubby legs. But those legs can carry them far, gingers a quick little thing, but when ever i call her name she stops can comes running and trys to jump in my arms. shes so obediant.
