Earlier this week there was outrage over an article I published called 10 Corgis Who Thought The Titanic Wasn't Real . Well, I wanted to apologize for calling those corgis stupid by making this post. Corgis are the best!
Statistically, corgis are ranked in the upper tier of doggie intelligence. #11 is pretty damn good.

Corgis are great therapy and service dogs. BUT according to Pamela Christie, "Some service dog organizations won't work with Corgis because the breed is a little TOO SMART.
Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers will learn skills designed to help people and stop there, but Corgis often find ways to use those new skills for their own benefit.

Corgis make excellent watch dogs.
According to Deborah Harper, the author of 'The New Complete Pembroke Welsh Corgi', "The Corgi has always been valued as a watchdog. His acute hearing alerts him to unusual sounds, and his big dog bark means business when something is amiss."

Corgi expert, Sarah Christie stated in "Corgi Diversions," Corgis "excel in obedience, agility, flyball, tracking and more, as well as their traditional herding activities."
