# step-1:
Analysis several breeders before buying
a Pembroke Welsh corgi. Selected a dog from a breeder who maintains clean,
healthy puppies and participates in dog-related activities according to your
interests. Review to make sure the parents have been hip and eye certified for
genetic diseases. Ask the breeder if there are any health concerns in your
dog's bloodline.
# Step-2:
Accept your new dog or puppy to visit a
veterinarian within the first few days after receiving him. Later, he should
visit your veterinarian each year and when additional health questions arise.
Vaccinations, de-worming and complete yearly test will benefit the health of
your Pembroke Welsh corgi.
#Step-3:
Exercise your corgi. These dogs need
active stimulation and exercise each day. Maximum leash walks per day or one to
two hours of backyard activity with toys will keep your corgi from creating
destruction with unacceptable activities, like as digging, chewing and
scratching. Also, off-leash play with other dogs, tug-of-war, swimming, playing
fetch or chasing a giant boomer ball may appeal to this herding breed.
Obedience training is strongly recommended for the Pembroke Welsh corgis.
Obedience can be combined with search and rescue training, fly ball games or
agility training with these smart dogs.
#Step-4:
Feed your corgi a high-quality dog food
to maintain proper body condition. This breed has a tendency to become
overweight and should be fed carefully. According to Purina, your dog's ribs
should be easy to feel with minimum fat covering. You should see an indentation
just behind his ribs as you view his abdomen.
#Step-5:
Brush your dog every day. Since the
Pembroke Welsh corgi has a thick undercoat and a fluffy topcoat, he will shed
some of his coat daily. Use a comb to remove all hair knots and trapped bits of
environmental materials. This also removes some of the dead hair. Check his
ears and between his toes for any foreign materials. Brush his coat after
combing out the knots. Brushing removes additional dead hair and spreads skin
oils throughout your dog's coat for a healthy shine.
#Step-6:
Bathe your corgi about every three
months, or when he has become dirty. Fill a tub with about four inches of warm
water and place a non-slip rubber mat on the bottom. Use a hose or large cup to
wet your dog and shampoo him vigorously with a mild dog shampoo. Dog
conditioner applied after shampooing can help moisturize his skin and coat. Dry
him with a towel. Swab any dirt from his ears with a cotton ball and trim his
nails.
