Many would-be dog owners have a soft spot for corgis. This is not surprising, after all, the Corgi’s unique appearance and cute personality are indeed easy to capture people’s hearts. But everyone needs to know that no pet dog breed can be perfect. Only by fully understanding the advantages and disadvantages of a dog breed can you judge whether it is really suitable for you.

If you blindly choose a dog that does not suit your lifestyle, conflicts will easily arise during the raising process in the future, which will not only make the owner physically and mentally exhausted, but also prevent the dog from receiving proper care. .

Today we will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Corgis and how we should deal with them. We hope to provide some useful reference for prospective poop shovelers.

Advantages of Corgis:

1. Corgis are very smart and have excellent memory. They can easily master various techniques and instructions taught by their owners, and training is effortless.

2. Corgis are also very loyal to their owners. They are affectionate by nature and are willing to stick to their owners and accompany them at all times. As long as you give them enough love and companionship, they will repay you with tenfold and a hundredfold enthusiasm.

3. Compared with many large dog breeds, Corgis are relatively petite, and the cost of raising them is not too high. Whether it is the amount of food or the size of living space, Corgis do not have many requirements and are very suitable for urban residents.

4. The appearance of Corgis is also one of their major advantages. Their iconic short and thick limbs, big round heads, and big eyes that are always full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge, make them look smart. Corgis are born with a sense of cuteness and are simply "people's favorites" when they walk. Take them out for a walk and you are guaranteed to receive countless admiring looks from passers-by.

Of course, Corgis also have some shortcomings that owners should pay attention to. The most prominent problem is that Corgis are too prone to obesity. They are born with a strong appetite and a relatively low amount of exercise. If the owner does not feed them properly, the speed at which Corgis gain weight can be described as "visible to the naked eye."

Once the problem of obesity occurs, various health risks for Corgis will follow. The most common ones are increased burden on joints, leading to arthritis, intervertebral disc disease, etc.

So when feeding Corgis, owners must strictly control their food intake, regularly and quantitatively, and must not let them eat freely. Snacks and human food should also be given sparingly to prevent excessive caloric intake. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that Corgis get enough exercise every day, take them for walks, jogs, and play to promote metabolism and maintain a healthy weight.

In addition to being prone to obesity, some Corgis may also have character flaws. For example, they can sometimes be stubborn or even stubborn. If the owner is overly pampered and lacks discipline, the Corgi will easily become independent and disobey instructions.

In the face of this situation, the owner must correct it in time. The owner's authority must be established through active and targeted training, and at the same time, the dog must be given enough care and affection to cultivate. Only by laying a good foundation for obedience training can dogs not behave recklessly and form good living habits.

Some Corgis may have bad habits of scratching and barking. Especially when left alone at home, they may act abnormally due to boredom and anxiety. This requires the owner to prepare enough toys for them to divert their attention. You can also play some soft and comfortable music when you go out to relieve your dog's anxiety. Use patience and love to resolve conflicts, and avoid beating or scolding, which will only escalate conflicts.

Looking at it this way, Corgis have distinct advantages and disadvantages. As owners, we should not only see the loyal, smart, lively and cute side of Corgis, but also face the problems that they are prone to obesity and occasionally stubborn. Only with a comprehensive understanding can we prescribe the right medicine and be targeted in the parenting process.

It is recommended that before choosing a Corgi, owners should carefully consider their own living habits, family environment, and even economic conditions.

If you hope that a dog can become a pistachio in your life and accompany you through happy times, and if you have enough energy to take care of it, accompany it, and guide it, then the lively and clever Corgi Dogs are definitely a good choice.

But if you are too busy at work and don’t have much time to take care of your dog, or you actually prefer a quiet and clingy dog, then maybe the Corgi is not suitable for you.

Choosing a dog breed is a major matter that will affect the quality of life for many years to come. You must be cautious and cautious.
