A must read for the Corgi owner and the soon to be.......2007-08-13
Okay, I'm biased. I'm proud to have been a contributer and some small way to making this book possible. And it's a great book. If you have a Corgi (Pem or Cardi) or a Corgi mix, there are tips in here from some really experienced people. And stories, recipes (people and dog oriented) and pictures. A real delight for those of us who love the breeds. And if you're thinking about getting one, there's advice on how to pick one out, where to find one (hint, not at the pet store) and how to raise a well behaved dog. Not everybody's cut out to be a Corgi owner, but this book can hopefully help you decide.
And it benefits CorgiAid. I can't think of a better way to contribute to a great cause and get something useful in return.
Corgi Wit and Wisdom.......2007-05-13
This is a wonderful book for any Corgi lover, it has great stories, advice and, lots of fun things to read. What a great way to help Corgi aid. Highly recommended! Every Corgi owner should have this.
Great for Corgi lover.......2006-10-26
If you are adopting a corgi or thinking about getting one, this is the book for you. It contains all information you will need to know to raise such a wonderful creature. Love the book so much that I'm almost mad at myself for getting it so late that now mine is almost 3 years old. :)
It IS Everything Corgi.......2006-08-24
My wife and I have owned two cardigan welsh corgi's and they are the only breed for us. Bright, loving, beautiful, stubborn, loyal and hilarious, our two dogs have given us years of joy.
When our oldest died just three weeks short of his 17th birthday, we bought this book based on other reader's reviews in hopes of learning some information about breeders and how to deal with some behavioral issues exhibited by our now seven year-old, Morton. The book provided valuable knowledge and insights about these and other topics. If you're going to buy a book to learn about how to get your own corgi and raise him or her, this is the best volume I've read on the subject.
Corgis - "Let us entertain you".......2005-11-30
Everything you want to know or need to know about the two breeds. An excellent book on how to raise, train and care for any dog.
One thing I do not understand though, is why more people don't own corgis. They're not huge dogs, but they think they are and are one of the most trainable of dogs, plus they are a laugh a minute because no one can convince them they aren't "people". You just need to let them know who is the alpha and who isn't. It doesn't take them long to figure this out, either. It is because, as I said, they are one of the most trainable of dogs.
Book Description

Pembroke Welsh Corgi "Cliff Notes".......2004-04-25
This book has great photographs. The information it provides is simple and easy to understand/read. I would recommend it for someone who does not know the breed and is interested in an easy place to start. The book provides an overview on the breed, breed characteristics, care and basic training. The book does not go into depth on any one aspect. Not neccesarily for the more experienced Corgi person.
Book Description
Pembrokes and cadigans are related breeds of Welsh Corgi, and are described together here. This volume is filled with handsome, full-color photos, instructive line art, and easy-to-read tables and charts. It provides information on all aspects of pet care for new and prospective pet owners.
Customer Reviews:
Great book about Corgis.......2007-03-09
I bought this book while I was still puppy-hunting, and it was great. It has lots of tips and breed-specific info about both Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgis, and was invaluable in helping me locate a good breeder and find the best puppy for us. It also has great tips for when you first bring your puppy home, and is full of gorgeous color pictures. A+.
A great introduction to a wonderful breed of dogs.......2003-07-04
If you already are familiar with the corgi breed, you'll love this book because it's filled with marvelously appealing photos of corgi puppies! There's an unusual number of great photos, unusual even for a book about the breed.
The book also is right on the money with advice on how to raise your corgi to avoid behavior problems. These are working dogs, and if they are trained properly (and it's easy) they are a delight, but without that training they can dominate the household and be a real nuisanced. It's clear that the author knows a lot about the breed.
Most dog books are about dogs in general, with little about the particular breed. You get the impression that there's a general dog book on the word processor that's customized slightly for each breed. This is a book about corgis, written to be just about corgis, and full of great information that's useful for every corgi owner.
Lots of corgi-specific Info.......2001-10-30
The problem with many dog-related books is that they contain a few dozen pages related to the breed & the rest is filled with generic information that pertains to all breeds. This book in particular deals with corgis the whole way through. A great deal of helpful information concerning corgis appears within.
A great book for people narrowing down their breed selection.......2001-10-17
We purchased this book to help us learn more about Corgis, as we were pretty sure we wanted to add a Corgi to our family. This is a concise book, with much Corgi-specific info (though the requisite all-dog info sneaks in, too). Great photos. Showed it to a breeder, and she liked it a lot, too.
Not Everything I Was Hoping For.......2000-10-08
This book was informative on generally on how to care for, train and breed a dog. It explained the history and physical traits of the two Corgis,and had many great photos. My main problem with the book is that it did not go into details of the behavior and personality of Corgis. Already being the owner of a Pembroke, my hope for this kind of information was my main motive for buying this book. Overall, this seemed more like a book about dog care with some Corgi topics included rather than a book devoted to Corgi specifics. Still, the price is reasonable,and the book easy to read and reference. If you are a new owner of a Corgi, or looking to get one, without any dog info book yet, you should be satisfied with this. But, if you are looking to get a more detailed account of Corgi personality and ability, you may not be. I have not read any of the other Corgi books, so can not compare.
Book Description
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an internationally popular and sweet-natured dog. If you are a first time Corgi owner, or are thinking of making one of these intelligent dogs a part of your family, then this beginner's guide is just for you!

CORGIS RULE!.......2002-07-18
I DID NOT READ THIS BOOK, BUT CORGIS, ESPESCIALLY THE PEMBORKE WELSH VARIATION ROCK!
One of the weakest corgi books out there.......2001-10-30
The New Complete Pembroke Welsh Corgi by the same author (D. Harper) is vastly superior to this book. That book contains information about corgis & no other breed. Half of the information in this book is on corgis, but the rest of this book contains generic information that pertains to all breeds. For example; the "Happy Healthy Pet" book for westies shares some identical chapters with this one.
great book for corgi lovers.......2001-07-16
the book was great with lots of pictures and info. it was definatly worth the money. this dog is soo cute!
Good Information on Corgis...and overall dogs.......2001-03-21
I have just bought and read this book on Corgis for a corgi research project I am doing. It lists a brief myth of corgis with faeries and how they came to be, plus their regular history, who owns them, etc... I thought it was very good description wise, also. It did an overall description of a corgi, their parts, then gave some interesting facts about each part. The only thing I was disappointed in is when I got to Part 3 and 4 ("Enjoying your Dog" and "Beyond the Basics") of the book. It was mainly focusing on all breeds, not mentioning any specific corgi facts to watch out for. Further more, the book was showing pictures in those sections of mostly any dog but corgi. But that's me...I thought it was only going to be about corgis.
The cutest dog you'll ever get.......1999-04-24
A perfect book! It teaches you what to do when you bring it home, training, feeding, walking etc. Shows alot of many different pictures. It taught me all I need to know and much more!
Book Description
These powerful little herding dogs have been helping around the farm and snuggling with the children at home for hundreds of years. They're equally at home tending flocks as they are following the Queen of England's frocks.
A small dog with a BIG personality, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is ranked 34th of the 146 breeds registeded with the American Kennel club. This book examines the characteristics that make the Corgi so special and explains all aspects of raising and caring for this unique breed. From choosing the right puppy to basic care and ownership, the Corgi lover will find it all here. A full-color insert, several appendices, and an extensive index are just part of what makes this title appealing for those who love the diligent and dedicated Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
Customer Reviews:
entertaining more than helpful.......2007-06-17
I enjoyed the book,but as a rule unless you plan to breed or show your corgi this book will be of limited use.Found few helpful hints as I plan to keep my corgi as a pet.
just good.......2007-05-13
Good mix of photos, history and temperment of a Corgi in the book. It helped us to understand and relate to our Corgi and work with her personality - it's easy to expect all dogs to be the same. We learned such is not the case with a Corgi and because of understanding a Corgi's temperment [through this book] we have a wonderful time with our dog.
Good "All Around" Information on a Great Little Dog.......2002-03-19
This book isn't meant to be an all inclusive guide to owning a corgi, as the writers admit to early on in the book. I've already read those types of books, but I was looking for something different to give a friend who is considering getting a corgi. It is charming and nailed dead on what living with a corgi is like. I've "been owned" by a pembroke for 10 years now and I recognized a lot of behaviours and characteristics familiar to this breed. It's a fun read with lots of great photos for anyone contemplating the purchase of a corgi. It discusses their health issues, personality traits, physicality, along with their intriguing history and myth. It's honest about both the good and bad points of the breed. I think this book makes an excellent complement to other more detailed sources on corgis and addresses what they never could = just how wonderful these little dogs are. A must for anyone seriously considering sharing their lives with a corgi.
Coffee table book.......2001-07-16
I was looking for info on training my corgi in the various categories mentioned in the review - obedience, agility, herding. No methods were discussed, only that the corgi can be trained to do these things. The book did give addresses of clubs that might help with these tasks. Not the reference book I was looking forward to, more of a coffee table book. The little story, poem?, about how corgis came from the wee folk was excellent and somewhat redeemed the book. All in all, I was a little disappointed.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Family Friend and Farmhand.......2001-05-24
This is the best book on the Pembroke Welsh Corgi that I have found. The author covers everything from the history, buying, health, grooming, versatility of the breed (obedience, agility, herding and therapy dog). Every picture and every bit of information are all breed specific. That is what I like about this book. It has a wealth of information and I learned what sets the Pembroke Welsh Corgi apart from other breeds.
Book Description
The enchanting Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a dwarf in size but a giant in heart and personality, impresses one as a sturdy, workmanlike herding dog, a pure-bred whom the Welsh have revered for centuries. The breed's characteristic foxy head, upright ears and soul-filled eyes make it an irresistible choice. For the owner or family seeking a friendly, able-bodies, "big-small" dog, the Pembroke will be delighted to make your acquaintance and share his life. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Pembroke Welsh Corgis and their characteristics, history in Wales, the US and beyond and the breed standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.
In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Corgi from puppyhood to the senior years.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi: A Kennel Club Book.......2006-05-29
Burton's volume covers the history, characteristics, training and care of your Pembroke Welsh Corgi. As a new dog owner, this book was a pleasure to read, being packed with useful information. The pictures and layout make this volume a great coffee table book. I highly recommend it.
Book Description
At last, a series of dog guides written from the dog's point of view! Each Love Guide offers the reader humorous (but true)insight into the needs, expectations, virtues and personality quirks of the subject breed. Each breed specific book will include four, full-color postcards, immunization chart and a lined journal to record memories. Dog lovers will find these books to be as useful as they are entertaining; a happy way to learn how to win a dog's love for life.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing.......2007-09-13
This little book is not exactly what I thought it would be. It mostly has some poem like chapters about Welsh Corgis. The Charts it has are handy and the postcards are cute.
cute & useful.......2007-03-31
Goofy photos, information that is concise but useful, and a great "baby book" section to record information on your new corgi pup.

Book Description
WHO'S MORE IMPORTANT than the Queen? Whom does she serve? Her royal corgis, of course! But life isn’t just royal thrones and unlimited biscuits for young Titus, Her Majesty’s favorite pup. There are burglars to catch, fires to put out, leaking tubs to attend to, and jealous cousins to deal with. In the end, though, it’s the Queen’s edict that matters most: “Titus Rules!”
Dick King-Smith, beloved author of Babe: The Gallant Pig, offers a delightfully entertaining book to inspire readers with love for young
Titus, and also with love for reading.
“Kids will enjoy the engaging Titus; the fast-moving, witty prose; and the adventures inspired by loyalty and royalty, whether two legged or four. Comic drawings add to the fun.”—Booklist
From the Hardcover edition.

Loved the concept but............2007-08-24
I bought this book for my 8 year old. We have a corgi and I thought she would love the idea of the Queen's corgi's. She did, but I was uncomfortable with the drinking and smoking in the book. It didn't need to be in there. The rest of the book was enjoyable. Buy it if you feel comfortable with smoking and drinking "romantized".
a darling children's book.......2007-03-31
Very cute story of the Queen of England, her curmudgeonly husband, and the Queen's new favorite pup. Good illustrations, reading level for elementary kids, and quirky sense of humor.
Corgi Fun at the Palace.......2005-07-08
A jolly account of the adventures of one of the Queen's Corgi puppies. Amusing drawings, and a view of the royals from a Corgi's point of view. Should be enjoyed by readers from 8 to 80.
King Titus.......2004-02-04
This book is awesome! It is about Titus, the Queen's Corgi, and England. It is funny. I especially like the part where Titus tells the others that the Queen is his servant.
The librarian read this to our second grade class. If you like dogs, queens, England or funny stories, I recommend it.
Warm characterization blends with whimsical humor.......2003-04-20
John Eastwood provides the engaging illustrations for Titus Rules!, a story of a Queen's favorite dog, and Titus' bravery in keeping on the alert. Warm characterization blends with whimsical humor with a peppering of black and white drawings in this warm story of a brave royal pet.

Book Description
Scarlett on the Case is a wonderful children's story for young readers. From lazy days on a farm to high adventure for pets and people alike, the story introduces us to delightful characters readers will not soon forget.
A very special little dog named Scarlett leads the way as an unlikely detective, when she tries to solve mysterious cases of horse theft from area farms. Even with the short legs of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Scarlett proves herself to be a challenging match for thieves who think they can steal prize horses their owners love.
Scarlett teams up with Chloe, a mischievous Chocolate Labrador, and Andrew, the young boy whose grandparents own the farm, in detective work that even amazes the County Sheriff. In the course of her adventures, Scarlett teaches the people around her some important lessons about listening and the sometimes hidden talents of pets.
With short, readable chapters, it is also a great bedtime book for parents and kids to enjoy together. This story leaves readers hoping for more mysteries with Scarlett on the Case.
