- RULES Tenth, or another small memo to the future owner: puppy's ears at 1.5 months may not yet stand. Don't worry, they'll get up later.
A male puppy has two testicles at 45 days. This is true if you take a show dog or a future breeding dog. If your dog is purchased as a pet, it doesn't matter. A three-color puppy can become very bright with age. A red and white puppy may look dirty and red. He'll ginger later.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a strong, low tall, short-legged dog. Adult dogs weigh only 9-13 kg and are between 25 and 30 cm tall in the sticks. So don't choose your future puppy's big parents — it's not a wolfhound. It's customary (in our country it's so common that the bigger the better), but not right! Pembroke and cardigan are low-legged dogs. And if parents have a pronounced high legs, you can't expect them to be right, low, stocky puppy.
An important point: Don't be afraid to buy the rest of your puppy from the breeder. If you like him, buy him safely. He may have waited so long for you!
Which puppy sex should I choose — male or female? That's the easiest question to answer. Choosing the sex of your future dog is just a matter of taste. Welsh corgi get along well with other animals and love children. Pembroke does not mind playing with a stick or ball, chasing birds or swimming in a water body. In short, corgi lead an active lifestyle all their lives, regardless of gender. But the bitch and the male dog differ in some peculiarities in physiology and, accordingly, in the content and behavior. Many bitches are frightened by the heat of bitches when purchasing them. Bitches have heats twice (some three times a year) and last on average 20-27 days. "Hunting", i.e. the time when a bitch is ready for knitting, occurs approximately in the middle of the heat, so there are only two weeks left, during which you can not let a bitch to the male dogs and male dogs to the bitch. In the city — walk the dog on a leash. There should be a good fence in the country house that could not be overcome either outside or inside.
An important, very important remark for those who chose a bitch and plan to start breeding: Pembroke is a difficult dog to breed.
If you have planned to breed this breed, you should know that: Ideally, only the best dogs should be involved inbreeding.
Pembroke is a difficult breed to breed!
In order to tie up a dog, it is necessary to have on hand his pedigree, decorated properly, and exhibition evaluation received at the exhibition in the system of RKF. And even better, if your girl has "closed" the titles of Young and Adult Champion of Russia.
The cost of knitting (the fee for the "services" of a male dog) of Pembroke is traditionally high.
A suitable dog can live several hundred kilometers away from your home, and not necessarily in the neighboring area!
Unfortunately, the risk of losing a bitch and puppies in childbirth is very high in this breed!
Almost 80% of Pembroke births take place with the help of Cesarean section. The percentage of stillborn puppies in natural childbirth is quite high. Therefore, it is necessary to think very well whether it is necessary for amateurs to be engaged in such risky business, as cultivation of hard-breeding breed. Maybe it is better to leave this business to professionals who have a huge experience, are ready for difficulties, are aware of the possible complications, as well as ready to take risks.
Buying a bitch remember that knitting it "for health" is not necessary! Re-read the previous paragraph and ask yourself if this kind of birth will bring much health. A dog (that's a dog, that's a bitch) will live well without offspring. The moaning about the obligatory continuation of the dog's kind is a fantasy from the last century. Dogs do not dream of sex. Dogs do not dream of "babysitting" puppies and live to a deep old age without knowing all the ghostly joys of motherhood and fatherhood. In any case, if you doubt knitting or not knitting, ask the breeder from whom you will eventually buy the dog. Honest professional will always give you the right advice!
