Huh! Try a Pembroke Corgi. They shed constantly. I used to own Shelties, and they would blow their coat once a year; but, the corgi sheds ALL the time, and Spring is just awful (as I look at my downstairs carpet and little tufts of hair all over it).
However, they are so cute and have such great personalities that all is forgiven. For anyone thinking that this sounds good, I would recommend a Corgi (Pembroke) if your kids are at least 6 or 7. They love their people, but I don't think they are very patient with little kids who would be pulling at them.
Again, a small dog body, with a large dog spirit. Our Griffyn will chase a ball forever.
We have a Corgi, too, and everything you said is right on - especially about being so cute that all is forgiven. :)

Cardigan ones are much the same, though somewhat more laid back, and a little less “barky”. They both are shed-monsters, though.
My mom is on her 4th Corgi, having had 2 of each flavor.
I think I’ll stick to my Weimaraners or maybe a German Shorthaired Pointer. I love those Continental pointers.
LOL, well, at least you can SEE it easily with the tufts, not so with some other breeds like the Pugs---no tufts there....
