About Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Corgi không đuôi)
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the more popular of the two Corgi varieties, and the one most people picture when they hear the name. Its most iconic feature is the signature heart-shaped rear — a result of the tail being docked shortly after birth (though a small number are born naturally bobtailed). The ears are upright and slightly pointed, giving the face a distinctly fox-like expression. Compared to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, the Pembroke has a lighter, more refined bone structure overall.
Personality + Who it's for
A great match for active owners and families with moderate living space — including apartment dwellers, which suits the typical expat lifestyle in HCMC or Hanoi. Pembrokes adapt well to apartment living as long as they get a daily walk and regular exercise to burn off their surprisingly energetic nature. They are also known to be gentle and patient with children, making them a solid family companion.
Detailed care notes
Cấu trúc lưng dài và chân ngắn khiến Corgi rất dễ mắc các bệnh về xương khớp và cột sống. Cần hạn chế tối đa việc cho bé leo cầu thang hoặc nhảy từ trên ghế, giường cao xuống. Chế độ ăn cần được kiểm soát nghiêm ngặt để tránh béo phì. Ngoài ra, bộ lông kép của Corgi rụng khá nhiều (đặc biệt vào mùa thay lông) nên cần được chải chải hàng ngày.
