When necessary, a stern voice or well-timed, light correction with the lead will usually suffice. The head should be foxy in shape and appearance. They are an active breed and should be kept physically fit and capable to take on a task with enthusiasm and endurance. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi should stand 10 to 12 inches at the withers. Although weight should be apportioned to size, a dog should not exceed 30 pounds and a bitch should be under 28 pounds.
Eyes come in variations of brown in harmony with the coat color.
Eye rims are dark, preferably black. The nose and lips should also be black. Corgis are a double coated breed that shed twice a year, January through March and April through December. Today's indoor dog lives in an air-conditioned environment and the moderate to warm temperatures of the South prevent them from developing seasonal sheds. They shed year-round.
