Book Description
As the breed's name tells, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi derives from Cardiganshire, Wales, where this tough and agile "dwarf" was used to control unruly cattle. A working farm dog, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi possesses a devilish fearlessness, required to nip at the heels of wild horses, and the intelligence of a fox, which his head and tail preferably resemble. Although low in stature, the Cardigan is not a "small dog" -- this enduring working dog is a down-to-earth canine, whose work ethic and spirit are only matched by his devotion to his family and genuine sincerity. The Cardi makes a superb addition to the right home and requires an owner who is responsible and available. Richard Beauchamp, a well-respected judge, exhibitor and author, has provided a comprehensive, authoritative text including everything the new Cardi owner needs to know to raise and train this active and versatile dog. This Special Limited Edition, illustrated with over 135 color photographs, covers the origins and history of the breed in Wales and beyond, the breed's characteristics and requirements, the breed standard as well as puppy selection, housebreaking, home safety and puppy-problem prevention. The author also outlines the basic care of the Cardi, grooming, feeding and exercise.

Original, comprehensive, breed specific January 22, 2007

If you want to learn more about the Cardigan, or already love this wonderfull breed, you will like this book. So many breed books read like a generic dog book where only the breed name and pictures are changed. Information tends to apply to any dog. Not this one; it reads as if every word was written by someone who loves Cardigans. It is comprehensive and objective enough to help a potential Cardigan owner make a good decision and raise their dog well without boring you with too many things any dog lover would already know. Even the training and care sections are breed specific, taking into account the unique temprament of this dog.
