Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Corgi ~ Welsh Corgi ~ Cardigan Corgi ~ Cardi found in WALES

Family: Canidae

Description Cardigan Welsh Corgis are recognizable by their long bodies and tails and short legs. Their heads are broad and flat, with large, upright ears. Eye color varies according to coat color, but should not be blue unless the coat is blue merle. Other coat colors include brindle, black, black and tan, black and brindle, sable, and red. The coat is of medium length and coarse with a soft undercoat.
Cardigans should be 36 to 43 inches long from nose to tip of tail. Both males and females are 10 to 13 inches tall and weigh 25 to 30 pounds.

Care and Feeding The Corgi does well on a diet that includes fish, beef, rye, oats and corn. Cardigan Welsh Corgis are very easy to groom. Regular combing and brushing and as-needed baths are sufficient. Dewclaws should be removed from Cardis as puppies.
Cardigan Welsh Corgis need yearly checkups to ensure good health. Vaccinations are due as follows:

• 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
• 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
• 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
• Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
  

Corgis shed twice a year. Regular vacuuming is a must during these times.
