Feeding requirements:
The coat of the Welsh Corgi is very easy to care for and requires only simple grooming every week. It has a gentle personality and likes to be with children. Of course, children need to play with it under the supervision of adults. He is naturally fond of sports, so he needs a lot of outdoor exercise and play every day. It is lively by nature and likes to bark, so it needs to be trained from an early age. It should be trained from an early age not to bark or bite things. Note: Since dog-raising regulations in most cities stipulate that dogs with a shoulder height higher than 35 centimeters are prohibited, so short dogs can walk out of the house openly.
Best for urban residents
Happy’s competition-grade Corgi breeding home has 6 Corgis. The top-seeded player who is the most charming is the 6-month-old Rose. As soon as the little guy sees someone, he will be so excited that he will spin around in the cage and jump back and forth. As soon as the gate is opened, he will rub against you, and then stretch out his soft little tongue to lick you very enthusiastically, and the enthusiasm is directly proportional to the saliva. The more I like you, the more saliva I will lick on your face! 1. Easy to care for. The Welsh Corgi is a short-haired dog, which is convenient for outdoor activities. Even the competition-level dogs only need to cut their beards and soles of feet. They do not need to spend a fortune on grooming every year like other dog breeds. Since this breed has no body odor, simple grooming once a day and washing once a month are enough.
2. It is better to move and to be still. The Welsh Corgi is an energetic small working dog. The speed, endurance and athletic skills it displays in outdoor activities have to convince me that this guy was once used to herd cattle. However, in family life, he is unusually rational. As an adult, he rarely jumps up and down at home or rummages through boxes and cabinets. He always adheres to the great belief of "investing his limited life in unlimited outdoor sports."
3. Talented and intelligent. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and if you look into the eyes of a Welsh Corgi, you won’t have any doubt about its high intelligence. The Welsh Corgi can understand some simple commands in a very short period of time as a puppy, and its obedience and judgment as adults are even more amazing. Although the Welsh Corgi does not have a gorgeous appearance or a proud altitude, its overall effect is still quite competitive when its parts are combined that are familiar to other dog breeds. A comprehensive survey was conducted abroad on 100 families who own Welsh Corgis. One of the answers to the question "Why do you like it?" is very interesting: some like the personality, some like the head, and some like the short legs... But I never imagined that nearly 60% of families like its big, round butt.
4. Observe disciplines and laws. This British product with a big head like a German shepherd, with its unique style of "only length, not height", has obtained legal residency status in mainland China (the dog breeding regulations in most cities stipulate that dogs with tall shoulders are prohibited) (a dog smaller than 35 cm) can fly on the road of socialism openly and openly.
The Welsh Corgi is short in stature, with moderate bone mass and a deep chest. The overall proportion of the body's side profile is that length is much greater than height. The tail is set very low and resembles a fox's tail. The overall impression is: a beautiful, powerful small dog with very good speed and endurance, intelligent, and solidly built but not rough. The overall balance of the Welsh Corgi is more important than absolute size. When standing naturally, both males and females are approximately 10.5 to 12.5 inches tall at the withers. The ideal ratio of height (the vertical distance from the withers to the ground) and body length (the horizontal distance from the sternum to the back of the buttocks [where the ischium is located]) is approximately 1/1.8. The ideal weight for males is about 30 to 38 pounds; for females, the ideal weight is about 25 to 34 pounds. Lack of overall proportion, being too large or too small are serious faults.
The Welsh Corgi has a delicate head that is consistent with its gender and physique. It must not be too big and bulky, nor too small and slender to be inconsistent with the rest of the body. The expression is alert, refined, alert, and friendly. The eyes are slightly larger than medium in size, not protruding, the eye circles are dark black, and the corners of the eyes are clear. The locations are quite spread out. The eyes are dark and match the color of the coat. Blue eyes (including part of the eye being blue), or one eye being blue and the other being dark black, are allowed on blue merle colored dogs, while dogs of other colors are disqualified. The ears appear large and conspicuous compared with the overall size. The tips of the ears are slightly rounded, while the pinna is very strong. The ears are moderately broad at the base, erect, and turned slightly forward when alert. When the ears are erect, the distance between the tips of the ears is slightly wider. Draw a straight line from the tip of the nose to the center of the eyes, which just extends to the tips of the ears. Small or pointed ears are a serious fault. Drop ears are a disqualification. The top of the head of the Welsh Corgi is moderately broad and flat between the ears, with no obvious protrusion of the occipital bone, which gradually tapers toward the eyes. Lower slightly between the eyes. The cheeks are flat, with a sculptural feel under the eyes and where they join the front face. The cheekbones are not prominent. The length of the muzzle (the distance from the nose to the stop) is slightly shorter than the length of the head (the distance from the stop to the highest point of the occipital bone). The ratio of the length of the muzzle to the head is about 3/4; the muzzle is round but not blunt; Tapered but not pointed. The contour of the muzzle is parallel to that of the skull, but slightly lower than that of the skull, mainly due to a clear and moderate stop. The nose is black, except for blue merle dogs. Black noses are preferred for blue merle dogs, but butterfly noses are also acceptable.
Dogs of other colors will be disqualified if their noses are not black. The lips are tight and simple. Jaws strong and clean. The mandible is moderately deep, extending to the nose, and the chin is round. The teeth are strong and even. A scissors bite is preferred. Overshot bites, undershot bites, and crooked teeth are serious faults.
The Welsh Corgi’s neck is moderately long, muscular and free of fat. Especially in males, the neck is very developed but in harmony with the overall proportion. The neck is extended forward and integrated well with the shoulders. Topline level. The body is long and strong. Chest of moderate width, with prominent sternum. The chest is deep and well sprung, providing ample room for the lungs. The ribs extend posteriorly. The waist is short, strong and moderately lifted. The waist is clear. The Welsh Corgi's croup is slightly downward, sloping toward the tail. The tail is set low relative to the body and extends to the hock. When standing and strolling, the tail hangs straight down; when he suddenly runs, the tail is raised parallel to the ground; when excited, the tail is raised upward, but never curled over the back. A high tail is a serious fault.
The Welsh Corgi has a chest of medium width, tapering downwards and relaxing between the forelegs. The shoulder blades slope sufficiently downward and outward from the withers to provide ample room for the ribs to expand. The shoulder blades are long and sloping back, integrating with the upper arm at an angle close to 90 degrees. The length of the upper arm bone is approximately equal to that of the shoulder blade. The elbows fit close to the body without being sloppy or restrictive. The forearm (ulna and precarpal bones) curves along the expansion of the ribs. This bend brings the wrists (wrist joints) closer together than the elbows. Pasterns strong but pliable. Dewclaw removal. The feet are quite large and round, with thick pads. The toes should be pointed slightly outward, in line with the shoulders when viewed in width, and should be kept straight forward when walking. Viewed from above, the angle between the outward deflection and the centerline cannot exceed 30 degrees. The toes cannot be spread. In a correct Cardigan, the forelegs are neither straight nor overly curved to appear healthy. Overall, a dog of this size appears to have plenty of bone mass, but it is not too exaggerated to appear clumsy or not agile enough. Pointing straight ahead, pointing incorrectly is a serious fault.
The hindquarters of the Welsh Corgi are muscular and strong, but slightly wider than at the shoulders. The hip bone (pelvis) slopes slightly downward from the hip, forming a right angle with the thigh bone at the hip socket. Stifles and hocks are moderately angulated. Hocks set low. The metatarsals are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Dewclaw removal. The feet point straight forward, are slightly smaller than the forelimbs, and are more oval-shaped. The toes are rounded. The pads are thick. Overall, the hindquarters must be powerful enough to propel the short, but relatively heavy, herding dog efficiently across a variety of terrains.
The Welsh Corgi has a medium-length, very dense double coat. The outer coat is somewhat coarse in texture and is by no means bristly, curly, or silky. The coat lies smoothly and protects against harsh weather conditions. The insulating undercoat is short, soft and thick. The correct coat is: short hair on the head, ears, and legs; medium length hair on the body; slightly longer hair on the collar, back of the thighs (forming "shorts"), and under the tail. The coat should not be so exaggerated that it looks like a ball of fur. This breed sheds seasonally and a lack of undercoat due to the season is not considered a fault if the coat is healthy. No trimming of the coat is allowed, except trimming of the paws, but the beard may be trimmed if desired. Coats that are soft, uniform in length, bristly, curly, silky, too short, or too flat are all faults. Coats that are too long or look like a hair ball are serious faults.
Welsh Corgis come in different shades of red, dark brown or brindle. Black with or without brown or spots. Blue merle (black, gray; marble) with or without brown or spots. There is no preference for these colors. White usually appears on the neck (part of or forming a ruff), legs, chest, muzzle, lower body, tip of tail, and white veins on the head. The white color of the head must not be dominant and must not surround the eyes. Any color other than those described above or a predominantly white body will be disqualified.
The Welsh Corgi's gait is relaxed, smooth and effortless. Viewed from the side, when trotting, the forelegs are fully extended forward, the legs are not raised too high, and they cooperate with the driving force provided by the hindquarters. Viewed from the front, the legs are not exactly parallel to each other, but curve slightly inward to offset the inconvenience caused by short legs and a broad chest. When trotting, the hind limbs extend under the body and move in the same straight line as the forelimbs. The hock joints neither bend in nor turn outward. The subsequent kicking action will generate a strong driving force (the paws will exceed the position of the tail). ). The movement of the feet is parallel to the walking path and must not swing or touch each other. Sudden rising and falling movements, a rocking gait, lifting the legs too high, coming or going too close or too wide are all faults of gait. As a herding dog, he must have agility, graceful movement, and enough stamina to do his job.
The Welsh Corgi is calm, loyal, friendly and adaptable. Never shy or vicious.
