Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series)

The enchanting Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a dwarf in size but a giant in heart and personality, impresses one as a sturdy, workmanlike herding dog, a pure-bred whom the Welsh have revered for centuries. The breed?s characteristic foxy head, upright ears and soul-filled eyes make it an irresistible choice. For the owner or family seeking a friendly, able-bodies, "big-small" dog, the Pembroke will be delighted to make your acquaintance and share his life. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Pembroke Welsh Corgis and their characteristics, history in Wales, the US and beyond and the breed standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup?s arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.

In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Corgi from puppyhood to the senior years.  more
