PR GCh De San Juan Mambo, waiting to enter the ring in 2021.

If there is something we have learned over these past 25 years of being a dog fancier, is that the more you read and learn from others, the better you will be in being a responsible dog owner or participant in events with your beloved corgi.

We recommend searching for and reading authoritative books about the breed of your choice, and dog behavior and health in general.

Additionally, we recommend you train your pooch with respected trainers, wether this would be for obedience, agility, conformation exhibition, or just for the fun of doing “trick” behaviors with your corgi. It keeps them mentally agile and sharp, as well as burning all that energy they have stored as a herding breed.

It is also a good idea to get together with other corgi owners and socialize your corgis together. This can be in specialized dog parks or other parks or areas. The more they learn to get along with other dogs, the better experience you would have with your corgi.

Finally, we also recommend you get together with others that love dogs and specifically the corgi breed of your choosing, by becoming a member of local and national clubs.

Enjoy your time with your corgi by learning, training, and sharing your love for this small welsh cor (dwarf) gi (dog) elves.
