About Corgi
Renowned as one of the world’s most popular working dogs, the Corgi was initially bred to herd and protect livestock, including sheep, cattle, and horses. Today, they are cherished household pets.

Grooming

Origins
Tracing the Corgi’s history proves challenging, entwined as it is with folklore and ancient cattle dogs in Pembrokeshire. Two main theories prevail: the Corgi may descend from the Swedish Vallhund, brought to Wales by Vikings in the 9th century, or it may have arrived with Flemish weavers in the 12th century.

Suitable Environment

Other Considerations
- Due to their strong herding instincts, Corgis might nip at children’s heels but can be trained early to curb this behaviour.
- Known for their vocal nature, early socialisation is essential.
- Their alertness and wariness of the unfamiliar make them excellent watchdogs.
Average cost of a Corgi
Corgis typically range between $1950 and $3400AUD.
How can I take good care of my Corgi?
Nutrition
Corgis, prone to overeating, require careful monitoring to prevent obesity. Feed them ¾ to 1.5 cups of high-quality dry dog food daily, divided into two meals.
Grooming
Brush your Corgi thrice a week and bathe monthly. During shedding season, daily brushing and regular baths are necessary. Brush their teeth twice weekly to prevent tartar buildup and gum disease. Trim nails once or twice monthly to avoid painful tears and check eyes for redness or discharge to reduce infection risk.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Inspect your Corgi’s ears weekly for signs of infection like redness and bad odour.
Acclimate your Corgi to grooming and examinations from an early age, making it easier to handle as they grow.
Check for rashes, sores, or other signs of infection during grooming.
Exercise
Corgis, strong and energetic, require moderate daily exercise to maintain their health. Long walks, slow jogs, or scenic hikes are ideal. Keep them engaged with various activities to satisfy their need to stay busy.
Training
Eager to learn, Corgi puppies respond well to training but need early socialisation to mature into well-rounded adults. Expose them to diverse experiences as early as two months. Despite their intelligence, Corgis’ independent streak requires added patience. Use treats and positive reinforcement to motivate them. They relish learning new tricks and excel in canine sports, making them great competitors.
