re: Any experience with Pugs, Corgis, Dauschunds?

Miniature Schnauzer. Smart, good looking, no shedding and good with kids.

I'm very late to the game here, but I would high;y recommend a pug. They are loyal as hell and get along great with kids. On the down side, they snore like a chainsaw! We had central air and heat in our home when I was small, and our pug would lie down to sleep on the vent in the floor during the winters. When she snored you could hear it through the entire house!

Yup. I'd definitely recommend a pug!

I had a dachshund growing up. Great, great dog. If you have a good one, you won't need an alarm system for your home.

He died in 2009 and I still miss him.

just had to put one of my dachshunds down last month. absolutely wonderful girl, had her 12 years. a completely spiteful little shite when she didnt get her way but made her even better. She killed all kinds of critters up until the week she died. Snakes, rats, turtles, even small rabbits. Blood thirsty little dogs that will kill something and proudly bring it right up to you.

I have one now that is around 11. Completely different, calmer personality as she wasn't and isnt the pack leader, but wonderful as well. We are picking up our next one in 6 weeks. Should be born any day

They LOVE attention. My friends knew to acknowledge them first when they came over, as those little shits dont stop barking until they're petted/picked up.

two of my good friends cried when I told them I had to put her down. They're that damn special.

I Agree with this..

My dachshund was stubborn to potty train, but he's an all around great dog. Used to you couldn't stop from playing fetch with him. He's closing on 14 and is essentially blind now so fetch doesn't happen anymore.

I have a corgi/blue heeler mix. Looks basically like a corgi with floppy ears. Wonderful dog. Has a strong herding instinct, lovable, loves kids and attention and actually listens. Didn't want to pony up the price for a corgi and I probably hit the jackpot.

My wife had Dachshund mix when we first started dating. He died recently, but I loved that little fricker so much. Super affectionate and sweet. He went downhill real fast with a bad back problem and we had to put him down.

If you do get a dachshund don't let them jump up and down from high places like beds and couches. Get one of those little pillow stars if you want them to climb up next to you. No one ever told us that and I think it may have ended up messing up his back over time.

Way back when, my ex told me she was getting a Yorkie from her parents for Christmas. I was TOTALLY opposed to it.


I've never been more wrong about anything in my life. One of the best dogs I've ever had.

As for Corgi's this is all I know...

Corgi Twerking...

We had two corgis but are recently down to one. They are great dogs, wonderful with kids, smart and energetic.

As has been said, they shed a ton. They also have propensities towards health problems similar to dauschunds. The one we had put down recently has back problems from jumping on and off things. She blew a disc I. Her back and lost control of her back legs (and her bowels along with them).

Still, fantastic pups.
