Pembroke Welsh Corgi

General Description

(Welsh Corgi) (Corgi) The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an odd looking dog only resembling other corgis. A peculiar shaped head leads to their slightly long narrow muzzle. Slightly set back in their head are two large round eyes usually brown in color. On top of their head are large bat-like ears. Their thick neck leads to a long cylinder shaped body. While their body is strangely long, their legs are unusually short. Their medium length soft fur covers their body and comes in many colors including red, sable, fawn, or black and tan these colors are often mixed with white marks.

Character

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a loyal and loving dog. Excellent with the family, these dogs are devoted and obedient with their owners. However, they are not a good breed for children who annoy or tease dogs. Usually this breed is fine with other dogs except if the two dogs are both male. This breed is always really wary of strangers and can become extremely over protective. Wonderful dogs for training, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is intelligent and willing to listen to their owners. One problem this breed has is nipping at people’s heels because they try to herd them, however, with training this behavior can be stopped.

History

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is thought to have come from Swedish Vallhunds that were brought to the United Kingdom by Vikings during the 9th century. Other stories about their origin have been floating around for centuries. The only fact known for sure is that their name – “Corgi” – comes from the Celtic word meaning dog. However their ancestors arrived in England, the breed actually took on its own unique look and personality began to take shape in Pembrokeshire, Wales. In England, the breed is still incredibly popular, perhaps because Queen Elizabeth II loves the breed.

Maintenance

Grooming does not require much time or energy. Brushing should be done occasionally but baths are needed rarely. Exercise is important for this breed that was bred to run around a farm herding for long periods of time so long walks and play sessions will be very enjoyable for them. Plus, they need exercise because they are prone to obesity and plenty of exercise will prevent that.

Ideal Environment

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a versatile dog able to live in most environments. Friendly and loving with their family, this dog is extremely devoted. However, they are not as friendly with strangers or disrespectful children. Training and socialization should be done to prevent them from nipping at people’s heels and to stop them from being over protective. They can live in all temperatures and do fine in an apartment or home. Exercise is important to this dog so long walks and lots of time to play with their family will make the Pembroke Welsh Corgi a happy and healthy dog.

How much should my 5 month old corgi weigh?
Post Response
I am considering getting a corgi, and I want to know if it is okay the get one, when i already have 2 other dogs, one male and the other female. If that is okay, is it okay to let them all run outside without worrying that the corgi will try and hurt them?
Post Response
My 3y.o. boy has bad breath. He gets all types of chew things and eats dry food. A vet cleaning is too expensive. What to do?
You could get toothpaste for dogs and rub it all over certain toys that are designed for this.
sometimes i buy little chewy treats for my corgi called "greenies." they are little green bones that clean their teeth! you can get them anywhere that sells petfood and stuff usually, they work pretty well and might help your problem
Post Response
i am thinking of getting a corgi. I have two cats and im wondering if they will fight with eachother?
We have a year old corgi, and a six month old kitten... when we brought kitty home, we held him and let the corgi sniff and get to know him before there was unsupervised time. I'd just suggest making sure that kitty can get up and away from the puppy, and that puppy picks up on the "signals" from the kitty. That way they get along, and the cat doesn't just hide. Corgis are really good family members, it's gonna work out for sure!
Depends on the Cat.... Any cat that is friendly will get along great with a corgi. Corgis aren't violent, and they never start any trouble. Most corgis will simply be curious and slowly approach the cat to sniff and check it out as if it was another corgi and new friend. If the cat acts violently and hisses, then the corgi will bark to tell it to shut up.... herding instinct. If the cat remains silent and runs, then the corgi will enjoy a great game of chase.... herding instinct.

pembroke welsh corgi

We own 2 of these fine little dogs and adore them.They are wonderful companions for children over the age of 6 as they have a clownish nature.This breed thrives on human interaction and is best living in the home as part of the family.It is best to have a pair as they are a busy breed and if the children are not available they will keep each other entertained.They are contented playing fetch for hours,but just as equally contented sitting in your lap watching t.v.They do have a tendency to nip heels,but can be trained not to do this.Exceedingly bold and alert,this breed makes a great watch dog.There isn't much that gets by those big ears!Grooming is minimal,brush 1 to 2 times a week.Training is very easy,this is one smart breed!I WILL own this breed again.

Pros: loving,devoted,humorous,loyal,friendly,alert

Cons: considerable barking,heel nipping

PWC - The BEST breed!

I've owned four of these wonderful dogs in my lifetime, and have had a few litters. I frequently show these dogs in AKC and APRI, and they are by far the best breed I have ever worked with in my life. They are the most well rounded animal, being suitable for farm life, working life, or family life. Great with kids, and other pets, provided they have been properly socialized. Their coat comes in red, fawn, sable, black headed tri and red headed tri color. Their coat is thick and full, very soft and sheds heavily twice a year... but otherwise minimal brushing is needed. Devoted and loving, these dogs make great pets for people new to dog ownership or apartment living. Although, they need plenty of exercise. Don't let those little legs fool you! They were bred to herd cattle, their short legs helped them roll out of the way when a cow kicked. They also herd sheep, goats, and ducks. Very alert, these dogs will let you know when someone comes up the drive! This is the only breed you too will soon fall under their spell!

Pros: loyal, loving, highly intelligent, friendly, good with kids, good with other pets, and very cute!

Cons: nipping(very easily trained out of), can become shy around strangers if not properly socialized, twice a year heavy shedding


An Amazing Breed of Dog

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are the best. I have owned and bred a fair number in the 12 years since I first got a Corgi. I grew up with many breeds over the years but from now on, it's just Corgis. I love that they are small dogs yet not frail like some tiny breeds. They can give as good as they get! They are entertaining and often entertain themselves. I have had two that will toss their own ball to chase. They bark alarm but aren't yappy dogs. They love to play yet are good lap dogs as well. And, they're like potato chips...you can't have just one!

Pros: Small but sturdy, few medical problems, loving, loyal, good watchdogs, good lap dogs, love walks, natural jesters.

Cons: Shedding

The Best Breed Ever!

We have three Corgis, two Pembrokes and one Cardigan. The Cardigan is 17 years old. She's really old now but her heart is good. The Pembrokes are 11 and 7. I won't have any other breed. Corgis are funny, delightful, they make the best companions, and they're so much fun. They love people and make great family pets.

Pros: Smart, easy to train. Love to retrieve toys, balls and frisbees. They love to go on walks. They're in the middle of whatever is happening.

Cons: They shed every day of the year but we're used to it. We put up with it because we love them so much.
