Corgis have been gaining popularity, thanks to their ability to captivate the online world. Interested in discovering more about this adorable, low-legged breed? We obtained exclusive insights at the 2014 National Dog Show Presented by Purina.
- This breed is highly intelligent, which means their owner needs to be as well. As Heather Masch, owner of competing Cardigan Welsh Corgi "Lizzy," explains, "You must outsmart them and possess a great sense of humor."
- They make excellent exercise companions, surpassing initial expectations. Corgis were initially bred as drovers, assisting in herding livestock. This implies that they are swift, robust, and possess remarkable stamina.
- Corgis fall into the medium-sized category, with females weighing no more than 28 pounds and males no more than 30 pounds. This information will aid in planning adorable costumes and accessories for your own Corgi.
- Prospective owners should be prepared to handle certain challenges. According to Masch, "You must tolerate barking and shedding," although this is common among most dog breeds.
- Regular brushing is necessary to maintain the beautiful shine of a Corgi's double coat. It's important to note that there are two distinct breeds of Corgi: Cardigan Welsh Corgi and Pembroke Welsh Corgi. While Lizzy is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, you have likely encountered Pembroke Welsh Corgis all over the Internet.
