Corgis are generally good with kids, maybe not so much with two small children. You may want to wait until your twins are a little older.

Some corgis are good with kids, but they are a herding breed and as such have a tendency to "herd" children, which may lead to nipping or other unwanted behaviors.

Corgis can make great family pets. They are loving, loyal, playful and loves to be with his family. They are good sized dog for young kids because they are not as fragile as some smaller breeds. However, they may tend to herd children when not trained properly or not exercised enough. They require lots of exercise and love.

Corgis are herding dogs, bred to herd cows by nipping at their ankles. They are also prone to herd cats, cars, and yes, even children, by nipping. Puppies are even more prone to biting (not meanly) because of their even higher energy levels and lack of self control. So no.

Corgis are a herding dog and will possibly bite at your children's ankles unless extensive training and measures are taken, so this is not advised. Also the corgi is a high energy dog requires frequent walks and barks a considerable amount. The Collie is a better coice.
