Temperament

What is a Corgi like?

Extremely friendly and family oriented, this little dog is easy to train. The Pembroke is intelligent and sensitive. Very little physical correction is needed to train these dogs. They like to have a job, so it’s important to give them tasks to complete.

For some people this simply means teaching the dog a few tricks; for others it means extensive agility training or herding competitions. Just make sure that you don’t leave this dog to its own devices. Unlike other breeds, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi has been bred for almost 1,000 years to be a working companion dog.

Corgi Adoption Notes

Quick Summary

  • Corgis have a tendency to bark at just about anything and everything. As such, they may not be suitable for pet adopters who are living in HDBs. Corgis are more suitable for owners without many neighbours.
  • Corgis may also be difficult to train. Whilst they are a highly intelligent dog breed, they are also rather stubborn. As such, it is important to begin obedience training at a young age. Crate training is also highly recommended. The earlier you do so, the higher chance that the corgi eventually grows up to become a more well-behaved dog.

Quick Summary

  • Corgis is a type of herding dog breed that first originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. This leads to an instinctual nature in them to chase anything that moves, and they have a tendency to nip at the hells of young children whilst playing with them.
  • Just like most other dog breeds, Corgi do also have the tendency to overeat. Be careful of what you feed them, and monitor their diets carefully.
  • Whilst Corgi may be small, they have a huge appetite for exercise. Daily walks and occasional games of fetch would be ideal for them to expend their energy

CONSIDERATION: PROS

A Corgi is perfect if you want a dog who…

Is Big

Is a “big dog” with short legs, i.e. built long and low to the ground

Is Spirited

Is spirited and athletic, but needs only moderate exercise to maintain his muscle tone

Has Nice Coat

Has a short easy-care coat in a variety of colours and 
Is polite with guests

Is Sociable

Is usually fine with other family pets, and especially good with livestock

Tips: Socialising

Don’t delay in socialising your corgi or showing him who’s boss. Corgis are friendly and easy to train. As long as you train them whilst they are at a young age, preferably less than 2 years old, you wouldn’t have any problems. Otherwise, they can be rather unpredictable when interacting with new humans or pets.

Tips: Exercising

Corgis are sometimes too smart for their own good. Without ample physical and mental stimulation, a corgi might entertain his boredom with some mischief and destructiveness. Engaging your corgi in regular activities that exercise his body and mind will help keep him out of trouble.

ConsideratiOn: CONS

Don’t get a Corgi if you don’t want to deal with…

Activity

Providing enough mental stimulation that gives him something productive to do

Shedding

Heavy shedding in the house. Along with lots of barking (not great for HDB)

Stubborness

Strong-willed mind of his own, requiring a confident owner who can take charge

HOstility

Corgi displays territorial aggression toward dogs and cats he doesn’t know

Appearance

Low-set, strong, sturdily built and active, giving an impression of substance and stamina in a small space. Should not be so low and heavy-boned as to appear coarse or overdone, nor so light-boned as to appear racy. Outlook bold, but kindly. Expression intelligent and interested. Never shy nor vicious.

Other Details

Basic profile of a Corgi

Activity

01. Exercise Requirements

Many owners think that because they are so small, Dachshunds don’t require more exercise than just running around the house.

However, they do need regular exercise not only to stay fit, but also to build strong muscles to support and protect their back.

Two walks every day of moderate length should be sufficient. To avoid injury, never allow your Dachshund to run up and down stairs or jump on or off furniture. Because they are very social, Dachshunds don’t do well as outdoor dogs—they want to be with their humans.

Fitness

03. Potential Health Issues

Generally a healthy breed, the Dachshund can be expected to live 12 to 16 years with proper care, so long as he’s kept on a good diet and has enough exercise to maintain good muscle tone.

To prevent disc damage to the Dachshund’s long back, be vigilant about keeping him from becoming overweight, and always monitor his activities to avoid back injury. Like most dogs with drop ears, Dachshunds can get ear infections if their ears aren’t kept clean.

Breaking In

02. Obedience Training Style

Dachshunds are very intelligent but are also independent and often stubborn, so they can be a challenge to train. They love to give and receive affection and do best with positive, reward-based training. They are sensitive and will not react well to harsh commands or punishment. Patience and consistence are key.

Dachshunds have an excellent sense of smell as well as a strong prey drive. Because they were bred to stay focused and follow a trail without distraction, if they are busy with something more interesting they may not always pay attention to you.

Food

04. Nutritional Requirements

It is extremely important that a Dachshund not be allowed to become overweight. This is not only because of general health reasons, but also to avoid strain to the Dachshund’s long back, which can lead to slipped or ruptured (herniated) discs. Ignore the pleading eyes, and give only the recommended amount given by the manufacturer of the quality dog food of your choice.

Give table scraps very sparingly, if at all, especially avoiding cooked bones and foods with high fat content. Remember that the Dachshund’s nose can get him into trouble, and always keep food well out of his reach.
