Sadly, my brittany spaniel died while he was getting his teeth cleaned (he was sedated) and his heart stopped...he was 11 and was sooo hyper and showed no sign of aging...and it was a huge shock...
So yeah, we're considering what type of dog to get next (wont be for a couple months though) and i really wanted a pembroke welsh corgi....but....my parents are kinda wierd with little dogs (they don't like yippy dogs for one) so i have some questions about the pembrokes.
1. Do they bark? Is it alot? random times? if the doorbell rings? I'd like to know how much they bark, and when.
2. Can you train them not to bark (or at least to stop on command)?
3. Can they stay outside for a few hours without supervision (we have a good sized yard with a fence, but there is a small pond...)
4. How often/much do they shed?
5. Do they stink (assuming you give them a bath every month or two.)?
6. Do they need a big amount of attention (every tues/thurs no one is home for about 7 hours and this summer maybe every weekday for 2 hours? this is important, as the dog will be a puppy)?
That's all i can think of. How good of family dogs are they by the way? can anyone compare them to a brittany spaniel in anyway possible?
If i find more questions, I'll ask.
thanks
