Health issues. Corgis do suffer some inherent diseases; however, the majority of these are quite unusual. One of the most common problems with corgis is arthritis and osteoarthritis, but this is most common in dogs that have been improperly fed or are given inadequate exercise, thereby causing them to be overweight. The obvious way to help prevent this ailment is to give the dog regular exercise. They can also suffer eye problems, especially in later life, such things should obviously be handled by the vet.

Grooming. These dogs do shed fairly lightly all year-round, but they do shed substantial amounts on a seasonal basis. Most of the time you only need to brush the dog about once a week, but when it is shedding heavily it's an idea to brush them daily. Given the fairly short coat of this dog grooming is actually quite easy, with the brushing just mentioned and giving baths when required, will help the dog remain looking attractive well into old age.

Living conditions. The Pembroke Welsh corgi is quite happy in most environments, be it a house, or apartment. They do require a reasonable amount of exercise; although they are only small they are strong and active dogs. The dog will be calm about the house, normally, as long as they have been exercised. Inadequate exercise can lead to restlessness when in the house, or apartment. They are very energetic and playful, which you would expect from a herding dog. They are very friendly and have an outgoing nature.
