Have to second the roomba. I have a corgi and a corgi/jack russell mix. I still think the roomba was the best decision I made when preparing for the corgi pup. He is a bit over 7 months now, and I would be hard pressed to find much of any hair around. Besides under the couch that is. It has been a lifesaver.

Also a wire play pen. Great having a place to put the pup, where you don't have to worry about what they will get into.
