Corgi-thread: features of the breed and its upbringing

An interesting new thread has appeared on Twitter. In it, the owner of the corgi talks about the features of this popular breed and gives advice on how to raise such a dog.

Speaking of corgi.
I, as an experienced korgimat, can file a thread about how it is to keep the cake in the apartment.
If you are interested, then put your burning hearts and press retweets, while I’ll think about where to start pic.twitter.com/ujY22NFhsz

This works not only with corgi, but with any other dog breeds.

1. General advice: if you decide to have a dog, you must definitely see how this breed looks live, so that there are no surprises. Go to an exhibition or to a breeder, chat, ask questions. For example, how many of you knew that a cake can famously bite in the ass? That's it

Do not forget that this is a herding dog.

2. Of course, a well-bred dog with a healthy psyche will not bite anyone at home... Only if it is not young, who played) but I want you to understand that the cakes are not only cute asses, but also huge teeth shepherd dogs.

8. So, corgi are shepherds, shepherds. This working quality of the dog is manifested in life next to her. Ours grazes the child (lies under the door when the daughter sleeps and growls, when she wakes up, they say, parents go!). The cakes are tolerant to children, but not too affectionate.

9. Those. will not bite, but will constantly move aside, not allowing itself to be squeezed and touched too much. But he won't let him out of sight!
I take a dog for a walk without a leash, because I know for sure: he will not leave the child on the street, even if he is pulled by the leash. This is his sheep))

When buying a corgi, be prepared to buy and robot vacuum cleaner.

10. I continue. MOLD
There is such an anecdote that shepherd dogs molt twice a year for six months each time)
There is a lot of wool from the cakes. Until we bought a robot vacuum cleaner, our legs and clothes were covered with a uniform layer of dog insulation)) I washed the floors every other day, terribly enraged.

12. A funny feature of our dog: he hates words with the letter C. pic.twitter.com/pdR206Pb11

About sizes and training.

13. By the way, it turned out that the biscuits can be quite large. Our guy (thoroughbred with documents and pedigree) weighs 17 kg and does not suffer from obesity. So when buying a dog, carefully look at the size of the parents, the range of sizes for the cakes is large.

15. Korzhi are very smart and learn with ease: puppies grab basic commands on the fly, and if you don't quit training, then at least perform in a circus.
Moreover, I would say, for them to learn new things is necessary to occupy the brain.

Corgi is a bit of Dormammu.

16. The dog is a member of your family. In the case of the cake, he understands this perfectly. Learns the habits of everyone with whom he lives, adjusts, at the same time defends his rights) our dog taught us not to be masters, but to be friends. It is useless to command this dog, but you can agree.

Unusual solution if you can't find a good dog toy either.

17. The cakes have very powerful jaws, they are able to gnaw any toy from the pet store into the dust (it is dangerous, in addition, the dust will get drunk). We accidentally found the perfect toy: massage balls from the pharmacy. They are inconvenient to gnaw, so they live long pic.twitter.com/r9D0jULuJc

The most important thing: about plush assholes!

18. About ass.
In order for the corgi to have such a cute ass as in the picture, he must be taken to the groomer (such a dog hairdresser). But at exhibitions, a trimmed ass is not allowed, so everyone grows panties.
I scored on exhibitions, so I cut our hair as I want

About food and goodies.

22. The cakes are very fond of devouring, so be careful with obesity, the breed has a tendency. Obesity for a dog is fraught with early death from heart problems, plus dislocations and broken legs. If you want to give a treat - give me a carrot, an apple.

It is best to use a cow tripe (stomach) as a treat - however, it takes courage to prepare it.

25. I cook like this: I put on gloves and an apron, throw the scar into the bath, shower (with cold water), take kitchen scissors and cut it into small pieces. I spread it in a thin layer in sachets, freeze it. Then I take it out, defrost it, give it to the dog instead of one meal.

Why keep a dog in a cage.

27. Cell.
The first year we had a huge cage at home, the largest one ever found. There was a cup attached and toys. Leaving the house, the dog went into the cage (as gently as possible, with hugs and a kiss on the nose). So the problem of eating shoes / furniture was solved.

- Sveta (@solar_circle) February 15, 2020

28. The fact is that the dog can eat something sharp and dangerous, for example, gnaw off a piece of baseboard and scratch the intestines. Result: bloody diarrhea and droppers. Therefore, guys, it's a pity of course, but if the house eats - in a cage. It's safer.

- Sveta (@solar_circle) February 15, 2020

29. From about 8 months, they began to periodically leave the cage, by the year he stopped eating what was not allowed. To date, there are no problems at all with this, the cage was given away long ago.

In the comments, other Corgi owners noted that the behavior and character of dogs of the same breed can vary significantly.

calm quiet girl who gnaws only glasses forgotten on the couch. for 3 years I heard that I was barking 2 times - at the noise outside the door, at the bulldog that dug it out, and how I went to find out from the roommate who had torn the trash can. does not like to play, loves only when scratching and stroking. pic.twitter.com/7zIc7o67Ji

We had a biscuit in our family - Valley. Brought up even before the general corgi fashion. It was the most wonderful dog - the cleverest, quiet phlegmatic with its own special character, habits and laziness. Already two years have passed since the death at the hands of doghunters and not the most qualified veterinarian. Cakes are love pic.twitter.com/4m2fLyfpxI

Each dog has its own character. There are two cakes, and they are completely different in character.
