In the nineteenth century, a breed of welsh-corgi dogs Pembroke, related to small sheep dogs, was bred in Great Britain. These animals are developed comprehensively: they manage to successfully work on grazing large and medium livestock, hunt game, participate in search operations, be a guide and an invaluable companion.
Breed description
To start the description of Welsh-Corgi Pembroke stands with the fact that these animals are very nice, bold and not malicious. Their small size (weight about 12 kilograms, growth up to 31 centimeters) allows you to keep dogs even in a normal apartment. If we give a brief description of the breed of welsh corgi Pembroke, then we can say that these animals are universal. They are suitable for both physically strong people, and for those who due to age or other reasons have health problems.
The wool of pembrokes is sparse, stiff, of medium length. If it is long and fluffy, it is considered a disqualifying deviation from the standard of the breed, and animals with such a shortage are called Wemsh-Corgi Pembroke "fluffy". Despite the fact that the "fluffy" is rejected, they are also very popular and loved.
Character
Dogs of Welsh-Corgi breed Pembroke are distinguished by benevolent character and innate intelligence. Their trembling love does not leave any of the family members indifferent. With cats, parrots and other pets Pembroke get along well. These moving dogs need long, frequent walks, games, and training. Pembrokes so thinly feel the mood of people that they will never be imposed, but with those who do not like them, keep the distance. Interesting fact: in the standard it is noted that pembrokes have a sense of humor.
Training in pembrokes is very high. The norm is the memorization of the team from the third time. These animals can be seen in the circus, agility competitions and flyball. Resentment and stupidity are not about a pembroke. They are not inclined to bark for no reason,
Care
The main problem in the care of welsh corgi Pembroke is feeding. These dogs are prone to overeating. If the owner is weak-willed, then the dog will have health problems. At the same time, pembrokes are so cunning and charming that it is extremely difficult to resist a sweet beggar. Controlling the feeding process of Welsh Corgi Pembroke, you will ensure his full and healthy life.
Wool in special care does not need, because the dog is very clean. Bathing is recommended only for severe soiling.
