Welsh Corgi Puppies

Welsh corgi puppies, like their parents, are beautiful dogs. Their origin is uncertain, but they were and still often are working dogs. There are two varieties of Welsh corgi: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and The Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Both varieties of Welsh corgi are fairly small, being about 10-13 inches tall and weighing about 12 kilos. This makes Welsh corgi puppies really tiny.

Welsh Corgi Puppies

The Welsh Corgi is a small herding dog that comes from Wales. There are two distinct breeds: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The Pembroke corgi being the more common. Corgis are generally healthy dogs, living into their early or middle teens, although both breeds do suffer from a few hereditary diseases. Probably the most famous corgi owner in the world is Queen Elizabeth II.

The origin or the word (or words in Welsh) are unclear, but there are two possible candidates: 'cor' meaning 'dwarf' or 'cur' meaning 'watch dog' and 'ci' meaning 'dog'. Both the Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgi are among the healthiest and longest-lived dogs in the Herding Group.

The Cardigan is one of the oldest breeds of dog in Britain and has been used for centuries by Welsh farmers to herd cattle. Cardigans are the larger of the two breeds, with large rounded ears and a foxy, flowing tail of moderate length set in line with the body.

The Pembroke corgi has pointed ears and is somewhat smaller in stature than the Cardigan. Considered a practical little dog, they are low-set, strong and sturdy with sufficient stamina to work all day on the farm, but friendly and out-going as well. The dog's head is fox-like and the tail short, which can be accomplished through breeding or docking.

Welsh corgi puppies are quite small, but will still be able to get into trouble. Welsh Corgi puppies are like young children and are into everything. Because Welsh corgi puppies are so small, you only have to worry about things that are within two foot of the floor, but you will have to worry about everything within two feet of the floor! This includes things like electrical wires and cleaners and poisons.

These are all potentially lethal to small Welsh corgi puppies. Potted household plants can be very harmful to your Welsh corgi puppies. Some plants are very poisonous to animals. For example, Aloe Vera, Eucalyptus, and Baby's Breath are very toxic, but there are others too.

The toilet is a serious danger to Welsh corgi puppies, because they can clamber inside and drown, so you must always remember to keep the toilet seat lid down. You also have to be careful of balconies, steps, roads and swimming pools.

Welsh corgi puppies are much like their parents. They are very fast, but they are also small enough to get through almost any gap and then they are off. They will fall off the balcony, not be seen on the road or get seriously hurt falling down steps.

The best way to think about Welsh corgi puppies is to treat them like toddlers. It will be into everything and it will knock things over and pull things down. It will tear up your slippers and it will pee on the carpet. But not for long.
