The next dog I will talk about is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. They are in the herding group. They have short, powerful legs. They also have a long powerful body. They come in all sorts of colors; red, sable, fawn, tan, black, and white. The females weigh about 25-30 pounds and get to about10-12 in. tall. The males weigh 25-30 pounds and get to 10-12 inches tall.

They have a great temperament. They adore children. They can nip when there puppies, but it’s natural. They are wary of strangers. So they make good watch dogs. If you train them right they can be a great companion.

The grooming isn’t very hard. They have very soft fur. It’s medium- length. It’s a water resistant coat. You should brush the coat once a week. You should use a firm brush. Bathe when necessary. They shed quit a lot.

They are very athletic dogs you can do a lot with them. They can be involved in fly ball, tracking, therapy, and herding, etcetera. Since they are short they can’t eat a lot. If you over feed them they will end up with health problems.

Some of the health problems are chronic hip dysphasia. Which is the most common. The thigh bone pops out of the socket. Another is the Von Willenbrand’s disease. This is a bleeding disorder. Remember these are only some of the problems.

These dogs ate very affectionate they are loyal to their owners. They are very independent can be hard to train. Remember these things they need regular brushing, gentle walking, and they make great pets.
