*Standard Schnauzer*

*The Standard Schnauzer breed is a powerful medium sized dog which exhibits terrier stubbornness when confronting a foe. It has been used as a rat catcher, as a yard and guard dog for police work.

*Origin: Germany

*Other names: Mittelschnauzer...Schnauzer

*Description: Stubborn...bold...fearless...robust...sturdy...reliable...high-spirited...showing stamina.

 *Behavior: Behavior problems may include dominance challenges, excessive protectiveness, and guarding objects and people from other people.

*Compatible with children: Use discretion...children in the owner's family should participate in supervised training of a Schnauzer so that they may gain control over it. Also, the dog should be socialized early to prevent over protectiveness, and its probably better not to roughhouse or play tug-of-war games with this breed.

*Typical Male Weight: 40-45 lbs

*Average life span: 12-14 years.

*Welsh Corgi*
Cardigan / Pembroke

 *The Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh are very similar in appearance...both breeds have erect ears, a foxy head and the low, Dachshund type body. The Cardigan is slightly taller and more heavily boned, has rounded ears and has bowed legs that point out. Both were used by Welsh farmers as "reverse" herding dogs with the responsibility of driving off neighboring cattle from the owner's crops. Their build and agility permitted them to harass the cows by darting quickly back and forth, barking and snapping as they dodged kicking hooves...this is how Corgis would probably greet any intruder (friend or foe) unless properly trained to stop on command. Both can be good apartment sized guard dogs.

*Origin: Wales

*Other names: Miniature Collie...Sheltie

*Nicknames: Cardigan...CWC...Cardi...Pembroke...PWC...Pem

*Description: Highly intelligent...active...athletic...affectionate...alert
