Corgi dog: breed characteristics and pet character


Story

Despite the external decorativeness of the breed, which suggests that it was bred artificially and not so long ago, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi has a rich history. The first written mentions of them date back to the 10th century. The basis for breeding was the Icelandic dog or the Swedish Vallhund.

Charming dog: Welsh Corgi Cardigan

The name comes from the Welsh cor gi - "dwarf" and "dog".

The Corgi's homeland is the British Isles, where they were apparently brought by the Celts. Initially, the breed was bred as a herding dog and was highly valued. laws of the Welsh king prescribed compensation for the killing of a corgi in the amount of one ox - this was considered a large sum . At the same time, the cost of any other dog, even a royal one, was much lower.

Interesting fact: according to one legend, fairies gave Welsh Corgis to people - these animals served as mounts. The legend is confirmed by the dog’s miniature size and the specific black saddle-shaped mark on its back.

According to another version, the first corgi puppies were found by children in the forest on a fallen tree and brought home. If you believe this legend, it becomes clear why Welsh Corgis are so good-natured towards children and willingly participate in their games.

By the beginning of the 20th century. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi was bred in only one county, Cardiganshire (hence the prefix to the name “cardigan”), in Wales. However, everything changed in 1926, when the first Welsh Corgi Association appeared. The breed was finally established in 1934, when the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and Pembroke Welsh Corgi were divided into two separate breeds.

Today, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is considered endangered in England - this is due to the significantly greater popularity of their closest relatives, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. But in other countries - the USA, Australia, Russia and Scandinavian countries, interest in this breed remains, so purchasing a Welsh Corgi Cardigan puppy is not a problem, and the breed as a whole is not in danger.

Howl and bark

Good news for those who want to have a corgi: this breed is not inclined to bark over trifles , and it will also not hold “concerts” in an empty apartment while waiting for its owner. Most often, the animal makes a voice when greeting the owner or his guests. Because they are sensitive to the mood swings of others, corgis may bark if they feel something is wrong in the family.

A dog will also bark at a stranger who, in its opinion, is dangerous.

The breed is also characterized by the so-called “ cake songs ” - a howl with modulations, which many find funny. It is performed as a greeting.

In any case, Corgis are easy to train. Therefore, an overly noisy animal is either an anomaly or a consequence of lack of training.

Differences from Pembroke

For a long time, these breeds competed with each other at exhibitions, but today they are often confused. Meanwhile, their differences (as well as similarities) are clearly expressed:

  1. Story . They were brought not by the Celts, but by Flemish weavers.
  2. Size . Cardigans are larger and wider in the bones, their body and head are larger. The weight of Pembrokes does not exceed 14 kg.
  3. Charming dog: Welsh Corgi Cardigan

  4. Ears . Cardigans have much more rounded tips.
  5. Charming dog: Welsh Corgi Cardigan

  6. Color . Unlike Cardigans, who have many coat color options, Pembrokes have a strictly regulated coat color: red, sable or black.
  7. Tail . Among the Pembrokes, it was previously stopped without fail. Today, not everyone adheres to this tradition, but bobtail is still common. But cardigans have a tail that is always long, fluffy and very beautiful. Before docking was abolished, it was easiest to distinguish them “by the loin part.”
  8. Charming dog: Welsh Corgi Cardigan

  9. Character . Pembrokes are considered more friendly and sociable. Cardigans are also affectionate with their owners, but behave reservedly around strangers. Loneliness is easier to bear.
  10. Because of their different ancestors, Cardigans and Pembrokes have different genetic conditions and disease susceptibilities . For cardigans, this list is a little smaller.

The most smiling dogs in the world: Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The breeds are similar, first of all, in size, affection, and charming appearance, reminiscent of both a dog and a fox. Both Cardigans and Pembrokes are highly trainable, love new tricks and pick them up literally on the fly. Both varieties are suitable for inexperienced dog owners .

Features of the breed: possible diseases

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a fairly healthy breed, and the list of possible diseases is not so long:

  • vision problems: retinal dysplasia and atrophy, entropion, glaucoma, lens displacement, persistent pupillary membrane;
  • immune deficiency . There is practically no protection against this disease - even vaccinated puppies usually die very early;
  • immunoglobulin G deficiency;
  • Cystinuria – leads to the formation of stones in the bladder and kidneys. Requires the use of drugs - D-penicillamine, and in severe situations - surgical intervention;
  • complications during childbirth due to the structure - childbirth, especially the first one, should take place under the supervision of a veterinarian;
  • back diseases - begin with excess weight, which puts pressure on the back. With proper nutrition, this problem does not arise;
  • anomalies of intervertebral discs . Can lead to displacement or rupture. To find out whether a particular individual has such a problem, it is worth x-raying the puppy. If an abnormality is detected, it is important to monitor the puppy's activity.

Genetically healthy corgis remain active and cheerful into old age.

Where is the best place to buy a puppy: the most famous nurseries

How to prepare the base

The first thing to do is prepare the dough for the test. Pour three quarters of a glass of warm water over the yeast. Stir and let sit for five minutes. Pour in the remaining water, add sugar and salt. Chop the butter at room temperature into pieces and also add it to the water with the yeast. Sift half of all the flour into the resulting mixture. Mix well. The most convenient way to do this is with a mixer and a hook-shaped attachment for kneading dough.

As you knead the dough, add flour in small portions. Do this until you have a soft and sticky lump. Place it in an oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Place in a warm and dark place for one and a half to two hours. During this time, the dough should double in size.

Place the dough on the surface, sprinkling it with flour first. Divide the dough into four parts - two large and two small. Roll out the large ones into two thick layers and spread them with custard, the recipe for which is given below. Roll the layers into rolls and stick them together, but not too tightly, otherwise instead of an appetizing corgi butt, you will end up with a solid ball.

From the other two parts we roll sausages and attach them to the bottom - these will be the legs, and we also form a ball-tail from the remains of the dough.

Place the buns on a greased baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake at 180 degrees for half an hour (more time may be required).

When the buns become golden, take them out and pour melted butter on them. Decorate the cooled baked goods with chocolate icing - draw cute paws with a toothpick.

Price: how much does it cost in rubles?

The cost of a puppy is primarily influenced by pedigree and compliance with breed standards. Also, the price varies depending on the popularity of the breeders or nursery and the region of sale - in large cities it will be higher.

The cost of a Welsh Corgi Cardigan puppy can reach up to 75,000 rubles. If the puppy has all the documents, buy it for less than 35 thousand rubles. will not work.

If you take a dog as a companion, without documents, then you can invest 10-20 thousand rubles.

Owner reviews

Before buying a puppy, it is worth learning about all its advantages and disadvantages. Here are reviews from those who already have a Cardigan Welsh Corgi.

Positive

Olenka : A lot has been written about shortcakes, and almost everything is positive and enthusiastic. And rightly so! They deserve it! We have a girl living with us, she is now 11 months old. The dog is very tactilely pleasant, incredibly positive, and lifts your spirits even when things are not going well. The cuteness is off the charts) Sometimes he does all sorts of outrages, of course, but then he makes such a sweet little face that it’s impossible to scold him!

Vitaly : My best friend. Lex is our entire family's favorite dog. We have two children, they played with the puppy, now he has grown up and plays with them. There have never been any problems, the main thing is to understand that this is an animal and it requires attention.

Zhanna : I have a corgi - Peach. This is a sea of ​​positivity. Such a toy. I took him from the nursery at 3 months, and have been inseparable since then. There are no disappointments with this cute creature, I love the prankster!

Negative

Sergey : The corgi cardigan has been living in our house for three years now; we bought it as a gift for our daughter. The dog is beautiful, no doubt. But the intelligence that is indicated in the description of the breed is not there. When I read the canine descriptions before purchasing, it was written everywhere that the norm for a corgi is to learn commands the second time. No. She knows most of the common commands, but, for example, she still cannot learn the difference between “give” and “put down” when she brings the ball. Although he understands the “bring” command itself. Plus stubborn. So there will be difficulties with training.

Natalya Petrovna : My daughter got a corgi, Fenechka. At first everything was fine, but my daughter went to university, but the corgi stayed and I suffered a lot with her! The animal is very stubborn - it does not follow commands demonstratively, out of spite! She gnawed all the blankets in the house that she could reach, gnawed the wallpaper, and even managed to gnaw concrete! To turn her somewhere during a walk, if she doesn’t want to go there, you can only drag her and the third time. If she decides that she needs something, she will bark, whine, jump and demand her way in any way. I read that these are characteristics of the breed, and not mine that is so unique. So I would think ten times before buying.

The most popular short-legged breeds

All varieties of dogs with short legs are included in a special registry of the FCI (Federation Kinecological Internationale). Each breed must have a dossier, which indicates the animal’s parameters, structural features, character and behavior. To choose the right breed, it is worth considering the main characteristics of the most popular ones.

walsh corgi cardigan

Representatives of the Welsh Corgi Cardigan breed are smaller copies of the Sheepdog. They are also called Welsh Corgis. The main advantages include:

  • a dog can be an excellent shepherd, a reliable guard and a faithful companion for the whole family;
  • easily learns various techniques;
  • Animals are not fastidious to care for.

Note! Representatives of this breed often have problems with the spine. This is due to the increased load on short legs.

A relative of this breed is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, which looks like a fox.

English bulldogs

This is a famous and unusual breed of dog with short legs. She is a representative of the Molossian group, the oldest pickling breed. Old English Bulldogs were used in ancient times to participate in bullfights, but now they are family favorites and friends.

Animals have a flat face and wrinkled skin. This variety was often used to breed other breeds of dogs with flat faces.

Glen of Imaal Terrier

The Glen of Imaal Terrier originated in Ireland and is still considered rare. Representatives are endowed with unique qualities that no other breed has:

  • small dogs are real hunters. They can fight without fear with prey that is several times their size;
  • a dog can become a wonderful friend and companion for a person;
  • If you decide to have a Glen of Imaal Terrier at home, then there should be no other animals besides him. The fact is that the pet will perceive them as prey and will constantly hunt for them.

Australian Terrier

If we consider all the burrowing hunting terriers, it can be noted that the Australian is the smallest. They are considered good hunters and are excellent at climbing into holes of various sizes.

Animals are endowed with a very capricious playful character. They are quite difficult to train, which can take months. They also adapt to their owner for a long time.

Dandie Dinmont Terriers

Small representatives of the Dandie-Dinmont Terrier breed are excellent guards of houses and buildings from various rodents. They are endowed with an excellent sense of smell and good sensitivity, for this reason not a single rat, mouse or even ferret can hide from them.

The dog has an unusual long body. She has funny hair on her head that looks like a kind of cap. If necessary, an animal can become a faithful protector and guard, and sometimes it can be a good friend and toy for small children.

Characteristics: pros and cons

  1. The animal's character is almost ideal: corgis are balanced, vigilant, not aggressive, but not timid either. Among the disadvantages, one can note a tendency to stubbornness - this dog will not be able to give orders, it will have to be persuaded to do one way or another.
  2. There is a positive side to this: the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is extremely smart - they are in 11th place in the ranking of smart dogs. And, although obedience is not their strong point, if they manage to find a common language with an animal, it is difficult to imagine a more loyal friend.
  3. The dog is perfect as a companion : it is very attached to the owner, is able to feel his emotional background, understands when it is possible to run and frolic, and when it is better to leave the owner alone. Incredibly active, enjoys walking and learning new tricks.
  4. There is also a drawback to extreme devotion: the corgi has a very hard time withstanding separation from its owner and loneliness .
  5. He does not show jealousy towards other family members; he accepts the family either as his flock or as a herd that he shepherds.
  6. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi loves children than the Pembroke. Rather, he treats them with some caution. But, if the kids do not show cruelty towards him, the cardigan will soon fall in love with them and join in the games. The dog is not recommended for families with a large number of children and with children under 6 years old.
  7. It will not be easy to build a harmonious relationship with a cat - a cardigan is able to make friends with a furry pet, but only if the primacy remains with the corgi.
  8. As a herding dog, the Corgi has a nasty habit of biting legs , just as he did with unruly cows. This defect can be eliminated with the help of proper education and building a hierarchy in which the owner is at the very top.

Shedding

Cardigan Welsh Corgis shed , but they are quite clean and their coat is easy to comb. The corgi doesn't smell like a dog . Shedding periods occur twice a year, in spring and summer. At this time, a huge amount of hair falls from the cardigan, and it is advisable to comb it every day.

Estrus and mating

The bitch reaches puberty at six months, which is when the first heat occurs. About a week before this, the animal will begin to worry, perhaps falling into melancholy. It is too early to breed a bitch at this time.

Puberty in the Cardigan Welsh Corgi occurs: in females during the second heat, in males - at the age of 15 months.

These animals are quite freedom-loving, so mating should take place in conditions as close as possible to natural ones. Nothing will happen in front of the owners. Mating is not always successful the first time, but if it is successful, puppies will appear in 2.5 months.

Corgi dog: origin of the breed

You probably didn’t know that these short-legged cuties belong to the shepherd family! Yes, yes, we can say that these funny guys and serious watchdogs are relatives.

Corgi dogs are herding dogs. The exact date of appearance of the breed is unknown, but most often it dates back to the 10th century. The kids herded sheep and even cattle! Corgis were even trusted by horses and ponies.

The nimble and dexterous corgi dogs managed to bite the naughty animal on the leg and thereby return it to the herd.

Pets are useful to people in everyday life. They have become excellent protectors for children and other family members.

In 1925, Corgis showed up at a Welsh dog show, leading many to believe that the breed originated in Wales.

Conditions of detention

Where is it better to live: in an apartment or a house?

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi adapts well to different living conditions; he can live both in a private house and in a city apartment, where he does not take up much space. However, in the latter case, he will need frequent and long (at least 2 hours a day) walks. Also, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi needs a lot of play.

If there is no opportunity and time for this, it is better to get a dog in a private house - there, at least, the dog will be able to run around on the property. The breed is not prone to wrecking and digging.

How should you walk?

The best option would be to walk 2 times a day for 1 hour, morning and evening . When walking, the corgi is not inclined to break off the leash, making it suitable for older people.

For this breed, interaction with the owner is more important . Therefore, it is extremely important to fully play with your pet while walking - at least three times a week. At this time, you can repeat commands and learn new ones, play with toys or just move, but be sure to communicate with the dog.

If possible, it is worth taking the corgi to bodies of water - he is clean, loves water and will be delighted. Swimming is perceived by the cardigan as a new exciting game, and, importantly, allows you to stay in shape.

Necessary care

Caring for a Cardigan Welsh Corgi is not burdensome. Enough:

  1. brush it with a soft brush 1-2 times a week,
  2. bathe 2-3 times a year,
  3. Clean your ears time per month
  4. Trim nails as they grow.
  5. It is important to examine the eyes every day , as they are a weak point in the Corgi.
  6. Also, since back diseases are common in this breed, it is worth purchasing a special orthopedic bed.

What to feed?

An important aspect of care is proper and balanced nutrition. There may be problems with this: corgis are big eaters and will beg for food again and again . The owner should be firm, because obesity, which corgis are so prone to, entails a number of health problems.

You need to feed your dog at a strictly defined time. It is important to choose the right bowl and place it on a stand so that the Corgi does not have to bend over and injure his back. Your pet should be weighed regularly. Once every few months, corgis have fasting days with food once a day.

You can choose one of two feeding options:

  • Natural food . In this case, you will need to maintain a balance: 50% of the diet is meat (except for chicken, which is contraindicated), the second half comes from cereals - rice and buckwheat, vegetables, fish and offal. It is important to give your corgi vitamin complexes in courses or on an ongoing basis (alternating).
  • Dry food. Only premium and holistic foods are suitable. Recommended food includes Dachshund from Eukanuba (Netherlands), a balanced food designed specifically for corgis, and Orijen Adult Dog, a grain-free, complete food.

Ingredients

To prepare the base of the dessert, you need to bake airy bread. To do this, take the following ingredients in appropriate proportions:

  • dry instant yeast - two packages (this is equal to about four and a half teaspoons);
  • warm drinking water - a little more than three glasses;
  • granulated sugar - a quarter cup;
  • salt - tablespoon;
  • butter - 6 tablespoons (cut half into cubes, melt half until liquid);
  • flour (it is better to use premium wheat flour, the bread turns out more tender) - from nine to ten glasses.

Training and education: what is important to know

  1. The first thing to consider when training a Cardigan Welsh Corgi is that it is a food dog . That is, the animal will most willingly work for encouragement in the form of something tasty. It is important not to overfeed the corgi and ensure that the dog gradually begins to follow commands with verbal encouragement.
  2. Cardigan loves to learn and will perform new tricks with no less pleasure than his owner does to watch them. It’s worth constantly giving the dog new tasks: this way it can occupy its mind and release excess energy, which would otherwise spill out into destruction in the apartment. The training goes from simple tricks to complex ones.
  3. It is important to pay attention to the cardigan’s attitude towards strangers and stop excessive wariness and aggressiveness . A dog is an excellent watchdog, but without training this character trait will result in a problem with communication.
  4. When training a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, you will need a lot of patience, but aggression and physical influence are prohibited.
  5. It is important to get your dog accustomed to being examined by a veterinarian.

  • at 1 month (done by the breeder) - Nobivac Puppy DP (against canine distemper and parvovirus enteritis);
  • at 2 months - Nobivac DHPPi (against canine distemper, infectious hepatitis, parvovirus enteritis and parainfluenza) + Nobivac Lepto (against leptospirosis);

  • then annually - Nobivac DHPPi + Nobivac Lepto + Nobivac Rabies.
