My Cardigan Corgi is manly enough for me (though really, the breed name alone is enough to disqualify it from any manliness conversation). He's robust, compact, solid and enthusiastic, totally rocks the agility course when he's not trying to goad one of the other dogs into wrestling, and has a bark loud and deep enough to discourage most door-to-door salespeople. He's protective (when we're in the room, he always lies down facing the door so that he's on guard), but quick to become friendly as soon as he meets someone new.
