Step 1: Application for Corgi












Low-set, strong and sturdily built, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi gives an impression of substance in a small space. They are one of the most agreeable small house dogs, as well as an avid competitor in many dog sports, including conformation, herding, and obedience. The Pembroke Corgi is a separate breed from the Cardigan Corgi, possessing a shorter body and straighter, lighter-boned legs. Their ears are pointed at the tip and stand erect. The coat can be red, sable, fawn, black and tan with or without white markings. The tails of Prairie Peak Corgis will remain intact.
History
Although all evidence seems to point to the fact that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a much younger dog than the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, it is still true that the Corgi from Pembrokeshire is a breed of considerable antiquity.
No breed that traces its origin back to A.D. 1107 can be regarded as an especially new type of dog.
Training and Temperment
Pembrokes are very smart, sensitive dogs who respond well to training and mental challenges. As herding dogs bred to move cattle from one place to another, they are fearless, independent workers. A Pembroke without a job will often assign himself work, like herding children or his fellow dogs. They make excellent watchdogs, with acute senses and a “big dog” bark. Families who can meet Pembroke’s need for activity and togetherness will never have a more loyal, loving pet.
Nutrition and Feeding
Depending on the size of your dog as an adult you are going to want to feed enough food so they are healthy but this breed can often get overweight quickly. There should never be a protrusion of mid section(belly girth) beyond the width of the shoulders and hips. Feeding Lifes Abundance dog food has helped regulate this as well.
What you feed your dog is an individual choice, but working with your breeder will be the best way to determine the frequency of meals as a puppy and the best adult diet to increase his longevity. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.
Coat and Grooming
Regular weekly grooming with a brush and the occasional bath will keep them clean and looking their best. Grooming can be a wonderful bonding experience for you and your pet. Their strong fast-growing nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth, splitting and cracking. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris which can result in an infection. Teeth should be brushed regularly.
Energy and Exercise
Corgis will thrive in country home settings, but can adapt to a variety of living situations if given regular exercise. A strong and athletic little dog, the Pembroke loves physical activity and is happiest when he has a job to do. Basic obedience training is strongly recommended by the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America and Prairie Peak Kennels can help with this program for you. This training is best when it teaches you how to teach your dog. The time you spend in training, especially during the first year of your pet’s life, will be repaid many times over by giving you a well-behaved companion, one that is bonded to you and your family for the rest of his life. Pembrokes are seen in many areas of dog activities like obedience, herding, tracking and agility. They excel in all of these events and are still used as working cattle dogs and are loyal family companions.
Health
Like all breeds there may be some health issues, like hip dysplasia and eye disease. Some dogs may be faced with these health challenges in their lives, but the majority of Pembroke Welsh Corgis are healthy dogs. Working with a responsible breeder, those wishing to own a Pembroke Welsh Corgi can gain the education they need to know about specific health concerns within the breed. Good breeders utilize genetic testing of their breeding stock to reduce the likelihood of disease in their puppies. Currently, the Prairie Peak breeding program is not seeing any recurring health issues in our breeding stock. Thankfully!!!
Preferred Homes
We prefer to place our puppies in active homes and encourage owners to participate in activities that utilize his/her natural talents of herding and overall companionship. Corgis are great house dogs but need more exercise than the average house dog. If you can not take your dog on a 30 minute walk daily, at a minimum, this is not the breed for you. Dog parks and other off-leash exercise is a plus.
We also prefer our puppies to go to homes where they will spend daily, quality time with their owners. Corgis require a lot of human interaction and will become confused if regularly left alone for long periods of time. If your Corgi will be left alone for longer periods of time, such as while you are at your 8-5 job, you will need to make up for that by one on one interaction before and after that longer period away.

Male/Females Differences
Choosing Your Puppy
No matter how much we’d like there to be some scientific method of choosing the best puppy from a litter, there really isn’t one. What constitutes the “best” puppy is extremely subjective and what becomes of a puppy is very much in the hands of its owner. So long as you are buying a properly socialized, healthy puppy from a sound breeding by a reputable breeder, it won’t matter which puppy you choose. You could close your eyes, reach in and take home whichever puppy you happened to grab and you’d have the raw material for a great hunting and family companion.
It is possible to predict a bit about a puppy’s future personality based on the puppy’s size relative to his siblings. The biggest puppy will most likely be laid back and easy-going. This is because he never had to scrap with his siblings for anything. He will normally be very patient with young children. You should take the introduction of new things, such as gunfire, slowly and carefully when training this puppy. This puppy will also need frequent off-lead outings in order to build the boldness needed to become an excellent hunter.
If you do not have the time to take your puppy on frequent off-lead adventures, do not choose the biggest puppy in the litter. On the flip-side, the smallest puppy will most likely be outgoing, fearless and energetic. This is because she always had to scrap with her siblings for everything. You should be firm, consistent and patient when training this puppy, as it may be difficult to hold her attention.
Because we are human and are programmed to prefer things we find attractive, you should pick a puppy you like the looks of. If you really like how your dog looks, it will make your bond much stronger than if you dislike or are indifferent to how he looks. If you think your dog is gorgeous, you will be proud to show him off. You might even overlook some of his bad behaviors. If you think your dog is ugly, he will never become your “once in a lifetime” dog, no matter how intelligent, talented and well-behaved he is. This is not to say you should choose your favorite-colored puppy from a breeder and/or litter that is other than your first choice. Choose your breeder, then your pairing from that breeder and then choose your puppy. All Small Munsterlander puppies are born brown/white. The roan coloring develops over time, but it is possible to tell if a puppy will be brown/white or roan shortly after birth.
