I'm more of a large and medium sized dog person, but I love corgis. The ones I've met have been uniformly lovely.

And, hey! Your in-laws breed labs? Would this be in LA or nearby? (We can't get a new dog right now: puppy and small people do not mix well. But when the earthling is a little bigger... And, anyway, I remember it being hard finding breeders when we got our last lab, so it would be nice to start collecting names now.)
