General 

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a herding breed dog that originated in Wales. They were used as companions, herding and guardians of the farm; and still are today! They are sensitive, alert, affectionate and highly intelligent. They are a healthy and long life breed. Excellent Companions for either rural or urban families. They are ranked 13th most popular breed per American Kennel Club (AKC). Corgis come in many coat colors but only 4 are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgis: Fawn, Tri-Color (Black and Tan), Red, and Sable.

Health / Care

We recommend high quality dog food for your furry companions. However, corgis are prone to obesity so we also recommend not to free feed your corgi. Set meals will help keep your corgi fed and healthy. Avoid giving table scraps and excessive treats. Along with healthy food habits, corgis need plenty of exercise. They are an active breed so they do great with long walks and mind challenging games! Just like with any dog, check ears often to make sure they are clean. Brushing teeth regularly helps prevent teeth issues such as plaque and tartar buildup.

​

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are prone to a few medical conditions: hip dysplasia, eye disorders, cardiac issues, degenerative myelopathy, and Von Willebrand Disease. We take every effort to make sure our dogs are healthy, tested, and free of ailments prior to breeding. We also recommend that you make sure they are up to date on all vaccines throughout their life.

​

Grooming

Corgis are known shedders. To help decrease the amount of shedding, brushing daily is recommended. Doing this will also help prevent matting of fur. Shedding will increase during spring and summer seasons. Giving baths every other week is a general rule of thumb to help keep fur and skin healthy and clean. Always make sure they are fully dry before brushing after a bath. A "rake" will help get the loose fur from the undercoat. Try to trim nails regularly. If you aren't comfortable or unable to groom your dog we recommended taking them to a groomer.

Training

Early socialization is essential for any new pup. Exposure to different people and environments is highly recommend for early social development. This may not seem much like training but it in fact is. It teaches the pup how to behave in any new environment. Corgis do well with agility, herding, obedience, and tracking based activities for training. They are more responsive to reward based training such as treats and positive words. They do not respond well to negative physical correction, and this type of firm handed approach is not recommended for any dog or breed.
