In this article we will talk about the most smiling dog breed!
The Corgi gets its name from the Welsh language, its name translates to “dwarf dog.” This dog was common in the 10th century in Wales (UK), but its popularity increased in the early 1900s. Queen Elizabeth II is the most famous corgi owner, and thanks to her love for dogs, many people call this breed the Royal Corgi. The British monarch was first given a corgi by her father in 1933. The Queen had 30 of these fluffy little dogs throughout her life and even bred corgis.
Royal Corgis are true companion dogs. Corgis are used to taking orders from people and they really want to please their owners, which is a very attractive trait. And the fact that dogs eat well makes them easier to train.

Corgi is not just a good dog, but a great dog! I have two of them, I got them from the Gemini nursery! Behavior in the family is excellent, they get along well with children and a variety of animals! The training is very good, we walk both with and without a leash, you can even take off and join the circus! The eldest, 7 years old, and the youngest, 4 years old, have already lived with us, they get along well, two brothers. Suitable for families with children and single people! They are not fussy about food, cheerful and at the same time excellent guards and very brave, they are not afraid of any dogs, even much larger than themselves! Take dogs of this breed, you won't regret it!

She will touch anyone, of course, and despite her cute appearance, she is absolutely not an indoor breed and, I would even say, not an apartment-keeping dog. She sheds very heavily and has very thick fur. Independent and at the same time very attached. She will lie down at your feet, follow you on the street, constantly keep you in her sight, but at the same time, she may not give you any familiarity, she may not come up to you if she has her own reasons for this...like - but I don’t want to. And this is self-will throughout the character. Well, .m.b. I have a dog like this. At the same time, she is very smart; she completed a course of OKD for the treat. And without him, he will sit, look at you, listen to your commands (and know them!!), without moving from his place, and probably think something like - well, what will I get from this and what will you do next? ? Kidding. Gradually everything moved, and now it’s better, but this was exactly what I encountered when we started, and what surprised me incredibly about this dog, because with the previous one everything was completely different. So that your dog doesn't come to you when you call him? and when she knows the command perfectly well, or when you call her from the kitchen, where there are so many temptations and free pieces, and at the same time, for some unknown reasons, she continues to lie and only raises her head and looks at you (not greedy, if that) ??!! I couldn’t understand her motives, what made her behave this way, as if she were some kind of outside observer of me, of my reaction. In general, she is quite unpredictable and independent for me. And although she needs close contact with me, to be close (or she just shepherds me), she misses me a lot, we can say that she is devoted in some sense, she may refuse food at first if I leave for several days, but She always maintains at least some kind of internal distance. She is affectionate with everyone she meets, she really likes to be liked))), but she may not come up to me when I come home in the evening. The dog is not aggressive, very friendly with both people and animals, and brave. But I miss some more responsiveness, she is almost like a cat, on her own, on her own wave ((

I’ve always had girl cats, I was somewhat wary of dogs..) My ex-husband simply disdained animals.. And then - here’s a joyful surprise - he left us for a young lady!)) The shock was more from surprise, but the feeling freedom very quickly blocked everything.) New acquaintances, new life - this is cool) My friend turned out to be a dog lover - and the owner of a pit bull - girls) A serious dog, and according to stories, also with “brutal inclinations”) To dispel my fears - they came to visit together - my friend and his girl - Shona) I sat in the corner, as if paralyzed, afraid to move, and Shona studied me with a very intent gaze) A friend suggested that we get to know her “better” - in order to relieve the tension of the situation)) I, of course, decided , “grease up” to the “beast” and brought her a cutlet on her palm.. OOO! it was just a turning point in my life - not a very short one!)) While Shona carefully took the pieces of cutlet from my palm, I simply fell in love with dogs with incredible speed - and all of them at once, not to mention Shona)).
My friend and I parted on quite amicable terms, and I am immensely grateful to him for introducing me to the kingdom of dogs!)
.. and I got my first dog, a Labrador) My Rich lived a happy, long life and left me over the rainbow in a day and a half..
I spent a long time choosing a breed - I wanted to find someone as kind, compassionate and intelligent as my Rich was..
The Labrador would have been beyond my strength, and I was afraid that I would be forced to compare...
Thank goodness for the Internet - I saw these wonderful smiling dogs, read everything I found about them and... first adopted a Pembroke, and two years later a Cardigan.
In my opinion, there is simply no better breed and there cannot be!) Especially for the city!!!
Not everyone can handle a large dog, both physically and financially. Whatever one may say, not everyone has large apartments to take a big friend...
And shortbreads are just a wagon of happiness - in all respects.
Compact size - perfect for small apartments.
They love all a priori - children, adults, other animals (I also have a cat Susie - she is friends with my boys), they are cheerful, active and playful, very devoted to their owner. These unusual dogs are not only charming in appearance, but also extremely smart and resourceful - they remember the most difficult things 2-3 times! In almost three years of living together with them, I have not noticed a single flaw in them!) Pembrokes are very flexible - they will adapt to the regime of any person - they will calmly walk with an elderly person or run around with children - everything is a joy for them) They shed two once a year - if you comb it, then there will be no horror and there will be no flatness in the wool. Their wonderful fur does not smell like “dog” and has the property of self-cleaning - there will be no smell in the apartment from them.
Cardigans are a little larger, more serious, but also cheerful and friendly, like their brothers) They are very friendly with each other - I have two boys - they adore each other - just from the first minute of meeting)
Cookies mean endless love and positivity in the house around the clock)
This wonderful breed is suitable for anyone - young and old, families with children and single people - take happiness into your home - you won’t regret a single second!)

Corgis are magnificent, smartest dogs! At the same time, they are amazingly beautiful, charming, and sweet. Once you look at such a dog, a smile blooms on your face, you want to cuddle him and play with him. And corgis really, really, really love to play. They are ready to do this from morning to evening! All day and night! Their wise, cunning eyes are constantly looking for something for the dog to do now, something to help the owner get rid of boredom, something to create in the house. One gets the feeling that this big-eared beast with a thick fox tail, short legs and a long, strong body contains exactly the same batteries that were once constantly advertised on TV - an energizer, it seems. My daughter says it more simply: “an electric broom, not a dog.”
There are no particular difficulties in care. Well, only if you need to wash your dog after every walk - if you want a clean house. With her charming little belly, she walks close to the ground, and therefore drags a lot of sand and dirt into the house. Most dogs love water. But lifting the corgi into the bath is difficult for me personally. My handsome boy weighs neither more nor less, but 11 kg. He also can’t jump into the bath himself. I'll share the trick with you. I bought a three-step ladder at a hardware store. This is how my boy ascends to the vessel of ablution. :) He already jumps from the ladder into the bathtub himself. And the way back comes out in the same way. He puts his paws on the edge of the bathtub, I help him a little to get to the top step, then he goes down himself. Perhaps this advice will be useful to someone.
Who do I recommend Corgis to? For those who dream of having a cheerful, smart, loyal, but terribly annoying companion.

This is the most wonderful dog)))) Very affectionate and kind! Cheerful!!! Very lively! Loves to laugh) She quickly got used to the family. She is still 4 months old. He loves to chew slippers (why huh? We call slippers that as a joke. Emphasis on the a.) He already knows several commands. When the intercom rings, she runs to the door like a bullet and waits for someone to come. In general, this was an article about my best friend for life! This is my first review, so it's not that long. The dog is very good)))

Advantages:
Best friend, no need to trim, removes claws on the asphalt itself. Very smart breed of dog. Like the Queen of Great Britain :)
Flaws:
Wool, a lot of wool. Needs to play forever. Can't be alone. Loves to catch pigeons, sometimes it's hard to hold them
Dogs are cute and adorable. no one can pass by these charmers. Eye-catching. Huge ears and short legs are the best friends in the world. A very beautiful dog lives at my home. Name is Gloria. We call it Laura for short, at home we call it Lorik. As soon as they took the dog, she first did her business on the floor. And the second time for a diaper, then 4 months later we bought diapers. Once she got used to the street, she only walks outside. We walk 3 times a day. He endures it calmly all night. Sleeps on the couch with my dad) Loves fresh water In general, the breed is very good, I advise everyone who has long wanted to get a dog) No need to trim it) The fur is coming out ((

My Welsh Corgi puppy is still very tiny, but I’m already completely crazy about him! In general, I never liked dogs, and now I was going to get a cat, but everything turned upside down when I first saw this fluffy spherical dog with a fox face and an eternal smile. =) In fact, I think that anyone who has had the good fortune to cuddle a corgi will no longer be able to say “no” to this dog. They are charming, smart and terribly charismatic. Regarding the character, both breeders and people on the forums write with one voice that there are no special problems in education. I'm going to check this out in the very near future. =) But I can already say that it’s simply impossible not to take this puppy to bed. No amount of willpower is enough here! Therefore, you can already get used to the fact that this cute monster will always spend the night at your feet.)

Alpha is 5 months old. We took it from the Alfawish nursery in Moscow. Great nursery! I communicate with the owner often. She always has time to answer my questions. The puppy changed our whole lives. There is a lot of laughter and joy in the house. The shortcakes are incomparable. They are walking positive people!!!! Relax!!! I recommend it to everyone who wants to have a friend - cheerful, sociable, ready to play (if you want to play), just lie quietly (if you want to relax), do whatever you want!

Advantages:
Ideal dog for the city
Flaws:
Shedding
The desire to have a corgi arose by chance, while looking at pictures on the Internet. But for some reason I knew that she would be red with a white stripe on her face and born without a tail. I was surprised to find out the price was 60,000 -120,000) but the worm in my head wouldn’t let me stop. The search began, but no matter where I called there were no girls, or the prices were very high. Then I saw an advertisement for the litter, asked if there was such a girl and she was there, I didn’t really think, I immediately sent a deposit, then there was a painful wait until she grew up, I waited for her for 3 months. Finally, my girl, with a full set of vaccinations, was put on a train and she came to me, my happiness knew no bounds, she immediately charmed me. The smartest, funniest creature, beautiful, with an excellent character. She fit into our family perfectly, I would never have thought that I would enjoy walking in the morning) My family and I get only positive things from this dog. Despite the chewed linoleum and the sofa), although it’s low-slung, it’s a shepherd puppy. I have never regretted purchasing her; I want her to live with us for a long time.

Smart, bark little, not intrusive and surprisingly patient. Perhaps the best breed for the city.

Advantages:
Playful, sunny, positive dogs
Flaws:
Difficult to train, not very obedient
A playful sun named Vinny was given to me three years ago on March 8th. I immediately liked the small, cute little bundle that didn’t have ears yet; I had read a lot about the British Queen’s favorite breed. The breed is not difficult - but there were some difficulties in puppyhood: it is necessary to strictly ensure that the corgi does not jump a lot, does not walk on stairs, eats more egg yolk (so that the ears stand up faster), and so on. As a graduate student, it was a little difficult for me, but overall everything went smoothly. Corgis are very playful and social dogs. If guests come to you, the cute shortcake will not be able to calmly go about his business, he needs to be the center of attention. He got used to walking quickly - he is not very obedient, but he understands everything perfectly. When you walk with him, he runs as fast as he can, so walking without a leash is not possible) My Vinnie loves children madly - every time he sees a child, he runs as fast as he can, wants to play. Corgis are puppies up to three years old. Even though they grow into beautiful dogs, they are still just children at heart. They are difficult to train, although it feels like they actually understand everything. There is another plus - they have self-cleaning wool. That is, after each walk, it is not necessary to immediately drag the dog to the bathroom, just let it dry and the dirt will fall off from the fur itself. Of course, it is necessary to wash, but sometimes you can take advantage of the advantages of their physiology. There is absolutely no smell from them, corgis rarely bark for no reason. And they are always in a great mood)

The best dog in the world!
Flaws:
Expensive
adopted a WELSH CORGI PEMBROKE. We have never regretted it; there are 0 problems with health, nutrition, and behavior!!! A dog only makes the whole family happy. The child is especially happy. He hugs, feels sorry, and even as a small puppy the corgi did not offend the baby (even by accident!) and does not chew anything unnecessary, an exemplary dog! someone said that he is not very smart - you just don’t know how to raise dogs! With the right approach, this is a pure canine angel! You need to praise the dog in time and pull it back in time when he is wrong. The teams learned them with a bang by three months! Sits, lies, gives paw, place, voice, etc. I memorized each of the commands in ONE (!) day, repeated it the next day and taught a new command! They also sleep very funny =D

What does it mean that they are difficult to train? Yes, they are considered to be mini-German shepherds in intelligence. An excellent dog, I myself considered this breed at one time, but smooth-haired dogs, during molting, cover everything with their fur, so they pulled out a fluffy, but not problematic coat.

This is an absolutely charming dog that will touch anyone. This is why she is strong. Smart but stubborn. She doesn’t obey unquestioningly, she’ll think about whether she needs it. Although he understands everything perfectly and learns very quickly, it is apparently difficult to achieve perfect execution of commands. He will do a lot for a treat, but he will try to cheat so as not to bother himself too much. And maybe ours is still small.

Great breed! I have a korzh, he trains well, but he needs to run a lot and for a long time, not walk, but run, this is a shepherd dog. Prone to obesity, you need to feed a little at a time. Kind, affectionate, cunning, like foxes. They beg, they are food eaters, but this is a plus in training; you can teach anything for food. They love children. I wouldn't keep it in an apartment, it wouldn't look the same. They are sooooo expensive. And I know where there are puppies. (I don’t have them, yet) :-)
