Customer Reviews

A great introduction to a wonderful breed of dogs

If you already are familiar with the corgi breed, you'll love this book because it's filled with marvelously appealing photos of corgi puppies! There's an unusual number of great photos, unusual even for a book about the breed.The book also is right on the money with advice on how to raise your corgi to avoid behavior problems. These are working dogs, and if they are trained properly (and it's easy) they are a delight, but without that training they can dominate the household and be a real nuisanced. It's clear that the author knows a lot about the breed.Most dog books are about dogs in general, with little about the particular breed. You get the impression that there's a general dog book on the word processor that's customized slightly for each breed. This is a book about corgis, written to be just about corgis, and full of great information that's useful for every corgi owner.

Lots of corgi-specific Info

The problem with many dog-related books is that they contain a few dozen pages related to the breed & the rest is filled with generic information that pertains to all breeds. This book in particular deals with corgis the whole way through. A great deal of helpful information concerning corgis appears within.

Delightful reading

I found the book very interesting especially the section about understanding the corgi personality. Unfortunately, it seemed to be more about the Pembroke when the dog I am researching is the Cardigan. The photos are wonderful, especially the puppies.

Welsh Corgis by Dick Beauchamp

This is an excellent little book. It contains solid information from an expert source. It is priced within the reach of all Corgi owners and does the breed a great service by debunking the myth that the Pembroke and Cardigan do not share the same roots. It is a must for all Corgi owners or potential owners.

A great guide when considering a Corgi Purchase!

My family recently had the opportunity to purchase a Welsh Corgi Cardigan. We had never owned a dog and this book served as a guide in deciding if this breed was the correct fit for our family. It covers what to expect of the breed, how to groom a Corgi and what training is needed. We were able to determine that this was the perfect breed! We purchased "Tango" and have been very pleased! A great book for Corgi owners as well as potential owners.
