Other preferences:
 While we don't have kids right now, we will in the future and want to make sure we get a dog that we are comfortable with being around our children as well as their friends. We also have a lab/beagle mix that can be hit or miss with other dogs and his happiness is our #1 priority. He has never had any issues with Corgis and his best friend is a Corgi mix so that initially drew us to the breed. However, it's very difficult to find dogs to adopt right now and we do not believe in purchasing from a breeder.
