My two previous males were quiet (except at vacuuming time) and very low energy. My female is the opposite by 200% LOUD she barks at everything and she would fetch the ball 24/7 if I allowed it. nonstop.
They are also stubborn, for all of them if they aren’t in the mood for an on-leash walk, there will be no on-leashed walks. They lay on the ground in peaceful protest of what they consider inhumane treatment. They are so damned cute though. 
I’ve had both loud and quiet Corgis over the years. I tend to prefer an all male group since I’ve found the females to be bossy. Early training and structure goes a lot ng way to deal with stubbornness and I don’t really see it in my fogs their breeding as farm dogs makes them sound the alert often!
they are so smart and trainable…I have here currently and am on a wait list for a puppy next year.
Would love over to hear from the OP
hi everyone-
Well…no adult Corgi at the moment. We found by accident that an acquaintance of ours (DD had worked for her briefly about 4 years ago- she was filling in for someone) breeds Corgis. I’ve been talking to her at length and her dogs sound incredible - she runs a pony party/petting zoo business and she and her husband work a small farm. She acclimates her puppies to everything - kids, ponies, sheep, ducks, alpacas, bunnies, farm equipment, etc. I know the amount of time and energy she puts into making up her ponies - they are all incredible! She doesn’t advertise her Corgis at all - it’s all word of mouth and repeat business. We are on the wait list for the fall litter in case we don’t find an adult dog by then.
Almost all of the breeders I contacted did get back to me and explained that their older dogs either live out their lives with them or are placed with friends and family or repeat customers. My horse chiro has rescue Corgis and she actually suggested that a Corgi puppy might be the way to go for a first time owner (and suggested a male tricolor as opposed to a ‘short, furry chestnut mare in dog form’) and then when we are used to living in Corgi land if we want another then try to rescue.
So that’s where we are now.
Just make sure the breeder you found is testing for DM/vWd/hips and eyes at a minimum. Many of us also do elbows
