Corgi Dogs

How is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed of dog?

Lee — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:40:56 +0000

Hi. We are about to buy a Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy next week. Someone suggested us that welsh corgi makes the best dog of all. However, i do not know anything at all about this breed and don't even know how they look like or what kind of a dog it will be. i want to learn about welsh corgis, but i'm too busy and lack the time for research. So i ask here, to tell me briefly about this breed — if its a suitable family dog, or if its agressive, rough, etc etc. Also does a puppy need to be supervised all the time, or can it be left alone for some periods of time too? i have never owned a dog before.

I love all kinds of dogs and heard of a lot of them.
I have also heard a welshi corgi. I have researched them before too.
uh.. I think I remember they are mostly used..to… I forgot.
But they are very friendly dogs and like most dogs.
They have short hair and I think like most short haired dogs, dont shed. Thats about all I know..

Corgi's ALMOST perfect run at Agility Trial

Pembroke Corgi "Max" TOTALLY ignored the 1st obstacle in this class while the handler didn't notice– so went on to do a very good job of the rest of the course. Mistakes happen!!! What a shame.

Where can I get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi? How much does a Cardigan Welsh Corgi cost?

Lee — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:00:09 +0000

I'm going to get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi soon. Is there a way where I can get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi without me paying too much? Also, are there any breeders that will give away free CWCs? Does anyone know any breeders? I don't want to waste too much money on the CWC and its necessary items, for example, a leash, collar, house, water and food bowls.

I suggest that you contact the CWCNRT which is the national rescue associated with the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.

If you are more concerned about the money you will spend then the quality of dog, then I also suggest that you really look at why you want a dog. A cheap dog will cost you more in the long run because of unscrupulous breeding practices, lack of health clearances of the parents, puppies raised in bad conditions.

Let's look at it this way, if you had the opportunity to purchase a new car with a warranty, dealer support and all the research backing up the car vs a used car with no record of it's use, no warranty, and no dealer support, which would you choose? You should consider the same or more when you think about bringing a living, breathing being into your home. A breeder who is a member of the national parent club has to abide by a code of ethics in the care and breeding of their dogs. Many of those breeders offer guarantees on their puppies, will stand behind them for the life of the dog, mentor you and will provide you with a dog that meets your lifestyle. They health test the parents and strive to better the breed. Many don't make money on puppies, usually loosing money.

As far as giving away dogs, yes many breeders will place older dogs in inspected homes with good references, usually at the cost of the altering of the dog or just slightly more. But I don't know of anyone respectable and responsible that will give away a puppy.

Good luck and I honestly think you need to think about getting a dog a little longer if it's a money issue.

I have a pembrook welsh corgi whos just a few months over 1 year?

Lee — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 14:01:52 +0000

He will lay on his back and bite at his front paws. Sometimes even his back paws I have seen him do. But mainly it is his front paws. I have heard him growl or whine at himself because he bit himself hard. I know hes going to be a chewer he chews and recks his toys now. Is this paw chewing a "normal" thing for the corgi breed.

Not sure if it's breed specific, but i have a year old English Bulldog that does the same thing. but mine never bites himself so hard he cries…but he does growl at himself while doing it. cracks me up. and he is also a chewer..furniture…toys…etc.

How to become Corgi registered gas engineer?

Lee — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:55:19 +0000

Hello, I would like to become a gas engineer and be Corgi registered. My local college offers NVQ Gas Installation and Maintenance level 2 on a 1 year course, would this be sufficient to do the Corgi registration cert afterwards?

Any feedback is appreciated
look up Corgi on the internet and contact them direct and ask, thay also do a list of registered companies so you could even write to them and apply for a job in the industry.

Should I get a Corgi or a chocolate lab?

Lee — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:22:27 +0000

I'm not sure which i should get but i deffinatly want one of them. Maybe the corgi because i could train him/her to herd my geese (Yes I do have geese) or the lab to be my running partner? Plz help!
And can ou plz support your vote. I want some really good reasons why I should get one over the other. Thnx.

I have known more than one dog of both breeds, and like them both (full disclosure - my favorite breed is scottish terrier).

Figure out what you want to do with your dog. My sister (chocolate lab owner) calls hers the SUV of the dog world - good family pet, very trainable, great hunting companion, LOVES water. Kind of big if your house is small. As far as I know, there are no genes for herding in labs.

Corgies, on the other hand, were developed for herding. The ones I knew were full of energy and could probably give you a run for you money (pun intended). Herding takes lots of stamina.

Check out a few breed specific sites. Here's a pair I found from a Yahoo search: http://corgi-l.org/ http://www.labradorretriever.com/

How old can a Corgi live to be?

Lee — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 08:00:15 +0000

I have a corgi that is 9 years old. I was just wondering about this. Thanks!

My Corgi is 11, and nowhere near dead. She has no major health problems, all her organs are functioning fine, she's not slowing down even a little bit, and she's happy and active and alert.

Some things to think about with Corgis — they have a lot of back/joint problems because they are dwarves. It is always good to keep them on some kind of glucosamine supplement. The liquid ones are the most effective, but every kind should have some benefits. Some foods even have glucosamine added in.

Watch their weight. As they get older, Corgis can put on weight pretty easily. Keep your dog on a low-fat, low-cal food, and don't overfeed. If your Corgi is hungry a lot, and you're in the habit of feeding treats, try giving baby carrots or cut up squash instead of commercial dog treats. I know it sounds crazy, but Corgis LOVE raw vegetables! Watching weight will help with the joint issues, as well as overall health.

If your Corgi is slowing down, have the thyroid tested. This seems to be a pretty common thing with Corgis, and is an easy fix with proper medication.
