Pembroke Welsh Corgi Dog Breed
Size: The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a medium-sized, big boned dog who is moderately long and low standing. His height is only about ten to twelve inches tall and ideally he will weigh in at approximately 27 pounds. The female should be about two pounds lighter. Health: The Pembroke has a long life span that can live into the double-digit years. Grooming needs are minimal, but as an an owner of this breed you must ensure a proper diet and guard against excess because when overweight, Corgi's are prone to serious back problems. Too much stair climbing and high impact exercises can also lead to injury. However, the most common medical problems you may encounter with this dog are eye problems, as they are the most common complications, with PRA, lens luxation, and secondary glaucoma all found in this breed. Hip dysplasia is also known, and though its effects seem less debilitating in the Corgi, it is of course still highly undesirable. Cervical disc (neck) and back problems are known, as is epilepsy. All breeders must screen for hips and eyes (including retinal dysplasia). If properly fed and taken care of, Pembroke Welsh Corgi's can live healthy up to 14 years. |
