Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Description

Corgi has a natural, high energetic level (derived from their long-term activity as a flock dog). Hence, exercise should take place regularly. The good thing is that they are not nervous dogs (a problem with many terrier breeds). They will bark only to strangers or when they feel a threat. Another positive thing is that when left alone, it has no devastating behavior or at least it has very little. Activities with intellectual challenges are their favorite. Thanks to the intelligence of this breed, he loves to be trained with such tricks, which make dogs stable and ideal for pets. His intelligence must be practiced quite often, however, this practice may also present some undesirable effects such as stealing food, trying to escape from the yard by digging, etc.

Another problem of the breed is the aggressive behavior towards other dogs. This, of course, happens because Cardigan as a flock dog, his job was to repel other predators or wolves. So when your dog is pulled out, it is a good idea to have your eyes open to avoid any collision with other dogs. However, it should be stressed that his aggression is restricted to dogs and not to his owner, the children of the family or children of others whom children recognize as members of his herd and not as predators.

History of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Cardigan Corgi is one of the oldest breeds in the UK with the appearance of the breed in Wales about 3000 years ago. It was initially used to protect the cattle herds from Wales to the English markets, but the breeders quickly understood their abilities as shepherds. A more recent crossover with traditional Welsh sheepdogs has increased these capabilities, leading Cardigan Corgi to evolve as we know it today. The original race of Cardigan Corgi was split during the Viking invasions near the end of the first millennium when they crossed the Spitz. This resulted in the creation of two different breeds, Cardigan Corgi and Pembroke Corgi. By the beginning of the 20th century, it was considered a race, but there were many questions about their differences. Eventually, the split came in 1934 and since then the lines of the breeds have remained clear.

Health and Care

Cardigan Corgi is a very healthy breed if you compare it to other breeds of its size. Of course, it is prone to some diseases such as Dysplasia of Strengths: It’s a Possible Problem Glaucoma: Problems With Vision Degenerative Myelopathy: It is the most dangerous illness that a Cardigan can face. It’s a good idea when your dog becomes 5 years old to be checked periodically by a veterinarian.

Cardigan Corgi is one of the tribes that does not require hairstyle every day. Once or twice a week is enough to remove all the dead hair, which will not only keep your dog clean but will also reduce hair loss that occurs seasonally. It is good to minimize the shampoo for Cardigan. Since their coat provides a kind of waterproofing that makes it almost impermeable, with frequent shampooing, it will slowly lose that asset. Also, frequent shampoo will create a problem in one of Cardigan’s best features, lack of smell.
