Yes! This is especially true in small dogs. They should have their anal glands drained when they are groomed; if they aren't groomed, you should do it at home. Gross, yes I know, but it's important.
I had a doggie whose anal gland got infected and burst You don't want to know what came out of there, but it was even more disgusting (and costly) than if we had just drained it regularly in the first place.
^^^ your vet can do it with a rubber glove and some KY (really). if it was a huge problem, as in frequently reoccurring, i bet your vet could teach you to do it too.
but your dog might not look at you the same if you stick your finger in their ass and express their anal glands.

plus, that anal gland goo is stanky!
my dad used to do this to his old dog before it died...it was probably one of the most disgusting things i've ever smelled...it would just hang around for days..

I have a corgi. I love Gimli, but he sheds constantly. I could brush him everyday and he would still shed. I've used furminators and they get a lot of fur out but it keeps coming. Eventually, he gets pissed because it starts to hurt him. He is very loyal and loving. Corgis are very prone to back problems due to their long bodies and short legs. I would not buy one if you live in a two story home. Gimli's back will act up every once in awhile and everytime it does it costs over $100 for his meds, not including xrays, vet fee, etc... I probably won't buy another corgi, but they are good looking dogs.
I'll probably adopt from a shelter next time. Mutts live a lot longer than pure bred dogs. Pure bred dogs die sooner due to incest.

Greyhounds are awesome apartment dogs. They are real couch potatoes. There are numerous racing greyhound rescues all over the place. Most of them cat-test and will be upfront if a dog is not cat safe. They generally need a dental cleaning every few years.
When budgeting for a dog, make sure you are including monthly heartworm preventative and flea preventative as well as food, shots, and other obvious things. Going through a rescue is definitely the most budget friendly way to get a dog. They should be fixed, heartworm tested, up to date and shots, housebroken... plus most rescues foster the dogs in people's homes, so they really know the dog's personality and can hook you up with a dog that fits your needs. Good luck! Getting a new canine friend is very exciting. I love my pooches to death.
Oh yeah... anal glands... yuck. worst... smell... ever... But seriously, if they are scooting, they are uncomfortable and need them emptied. By a vet, not a groomer. Vets do it differently, more thoroughly. Plus, it means they are squeezing anal gland juice all over your carpet. Yuck-O.
