Caring for Your Corgi 

YOUR TERENELF CORGI

BEFORE BREEDING, the dam was kept free of internal and external parasites, kept up to date on vaccinations (DHP-P and rabies), given periodic veterinary examinations and was fed a quality diet to maintain correct weight.  Hip x-rays, DNA testing for vWD and eye exams are done on breeding stock.

VETERINARIANS:  Ask your vet if he/she provides 24-hour emergency service and, if not, find someone who does.  Your vet may have a suggestion for an emergency clinic.  Your dog’s life may depend upon your knowing where to find help in a crisis.  Some vets provide the service only for their own clients.

VACCINATIONS:  Your puppy’s litter was given DHP-P shots at approximately eight weeks of age with 2 boosters at 4 week intervals.  You must continue the series of shots for your puppy on a schedule recommended by your vet.  I give DHP-P (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluinza, and parvovirus) boosters every four weeks until the puppy is at least 16 weeks old and continue with a parvo booster at 20 weeks.  Rabies must be given at 3 months in Pennsylvania and as late as 6 months in some states, depending on state law.  A rabies booster must be given a year after the first innoculation, then every three years after that.

There have been recent changes in the recommended vaccination protocols.  Protocol changes are being adopted by the 27 Veterinary schools in this country and most have already changed their recommendations.  It is now thought that "less is more" in that over-vaccinating can do harm to the immune system.  Read about the new recommendations at http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/ChangingVaccineProtocols.html and http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/MinimalVaccineUse.html

These recommended changes do mean fewer shots administered by veterinarians and some may resist the new protocols for a variety of reasons, including pocketbook issues, suspicion of change, etc.  Before you take your puppy for another vaccination, READ THESE PAGES from start to finish and perhaps print them out to take with you for your puppy's first appointment.  Let your veterinarian that you wish to follow the new protocol!

PROTECTING YOUR PUPPY from exposure to the deadly diseases that are later prevented by vaccines is very important while the puppy is developing immunity in response to the series of shots.  This does not happen overnight!  Even though he has had all his recommended shots, your puppy may not have reached optimum immunity until after the last shot.  Diseases are sometimes airborne.  Others are spread through direct contact, saliva, urine and feces, so do not let your dog sniff others at the veterinarian’s office, play with strange dogs or walk where other dogs urinate and defecate.  Keep your own yard clean by disposing of stools promptly.  Since you can even carry diseases home to your puppy on your hands, clothing or shoes, do not visit with strange dogs while your pup is young and if you have been around other dogs, wash up before touching your puppy.

PARASITE CONTROL is very important to the health of dogs.  The litter wormings should be indicated on the health record.  Fecal checks should be done every six months and anytime there are loose or bloody stools.  My dogs are wormed once a month with pyrantel pamoate, a mild liquid wormer that is highly effective against hookworms and roundworms. Some over the counter brand names are Nemex, Sergeant’s Sure Shot liquid and many others.  Check the labels for the ingredient and follow the directions on the package for dosage.  If your pet has whipworms, you will have no way of knowing without a fecal check and the pyrantel pamoate does not eliminate them.  Your vet will have to prescribe a wormer for whips. Panacur is a good one that is effective for hooks, rounds and whips.  It can be given to pregnant and nursing bitches and young puppies as well as adults.   Another alternative is the heartworm preventive called Interceptor, which also helps control hooks, whipworms and  roundworms.  Tapeworms are usually contracted when a dog swallows a flea and you can see in the fresh stool little white shapes that resemble rice or the tapeworm segments can appear stuck to the fur near the rectum looking more like dry brown rice.  Tapes are treated with a pill called Droncit provided by your vet.  To prevent reinfestation, of course, the flea population will have to be eliminated.

HEARTWORM  preventive is a must!  Heartworm is contracted by mosquito bites and it can kill.  There are no signs of infection until in the later stages of the worms’ development in the heart of the dog.  The treatment is very hard on the dog and very expensive.  There are excellent medications you can give monthly to prevent the development of the heartworm and I recommend using it year around.  Most vets will recommend an ANNUAL BLOOD TEST to make sure your dog has remained heartworm free.

FLEA CONTROL is important and not that difficult.  The secret is to understand that for every flea on a dog, there are nine wandering around his environment (and yours)!  Fleas actually spend 90% of the time off the dog. Believe it or not, even with all my dogs and the boarders coming and going, there are rarely any fleas on any of my dogs.  I can go for years without seeing a flea!  But don’t wait until you see one!  I begin in April or May by vacuuming the house and spraying thoroughly with a good household insecticide and IGR (insect growth regulator).  I respray about every twelve weeks or when a dog scratches, whichever comes first.  If I see a flea, I give flea baths as well.  However, with a good spraying program, there’s rarely a need to treat the dogs. I never use flea collars or dip. I find the flea bombs pretty useless.    The thing is that people don’t seem to realize that the time to act is way before you see a flea!  Every flea you kill in May or June will save having to fight many thousands in the fall.  Or ask your vet about monthly preventives such as Advantage and Frontline, the newest, most effective flea weapons.  As new products come out, ask you vet for the best.

TICKS carry three very serious diseases: Lyme, Rock Mountain Spotted Fever and Ehrlichiosis.  If you find a tick on your dog, make a note on his health record for future reference.  If your dog appears not to be exactly right - doesn't finish all his food as usual, is lame and the vet can't find any obvious reason, is slow going up stairs, is lethargic, has unexplained bleeding, definitely do a "three tick panel" blood test which gives results for all three diseases.  Ehrlichia killed my favorite dog of all time because none of the four excellent vets she saw thought this disease was a possibility.  She had only about three ticks in her life and the vets had not seen this disease in this part of the country.

POISONS:  Many substances in your house can kill your pet - some house and garden plants and bulbs, onions, antifreeze and chocolate (that’s right, CHOCOLATE!) are some examples.  If you think your dog has ingested something poisonous, immediately call your vet or the POISON INFORMATION HOTLINE (24 hours) at 217 333-3611. Have your credit card ready as there is a charge.

BOARDING:  FOX MEADOW FARM is the name of my boarding kennel behind the house.  I can usually fit in another Corgi, but call ahead for reservations, especially for holiday weekends.  Call 610 274-8816.

SPAY/NEUTER  Unless you have acquired your puppy to show or breed, it should be spayed/neutered at about the age of six months.  If you are waiting to see if your puppy grows up to be show quality, you must wait because it is not possible under AKC rules to show an altered dog.  However if you are going to spay or neuter, it is important to understand that your female does not need to come into heat once or have a litter before she is spayed!

There are health advantages to your dog’s being spayed or neutered.  Neutered males will not ever get testicular cancer and castration is the treatment for an enlarged prostate, which often occurs in middle-aged and older males.  Females, if spayed before the first heat have a significantly reduced chance of getting breast cancer.

  DIET:   There are a number of excellent foods which can be purchased from vets and pet shops.  Usually, the premium foods are better.  Never feed generic dog food as it is nutrionally inadequate.   Precise, Innova, Verus, Science Diet, Pedigree, Purina One and many others are fine for most dogs.  Feed puppy food for about the first year (Innova Puppy, Precise Puppy, Verus Puppy, Purina Puppy Chow,  etc.).  Recommended quantities on bags are usually overly generous - they are aiming to sell as much dog food as possible!  As a general rule, feed young, active dogs about 2 cups a day and perhaps mix a tablespoon of canned food in with it. This is mostly for flavor and dogs like the Mighty Dog, Iams, Pedigree, Alpo, Nutro and Triumph brands of canned food.  As your puppy gets older, the amount of dry food will probably have to be reduced gradually to perhaps as little as 1/2 to one cup per day for old dogs, depending on exercise, the individual’s metabolism and the type of food and amount of treats fed.  Keep fresh water available.  Measure the  food with a measuring cup!  Do NOT free feed!

OVERNUTRITION is suspected as a contributing factor in hip displaysia and other health problems.  Don’t let your growing puppy get overweight!  All too often I see Corgis that are obese because the people they own are so well trained to give them just about any treat they ask for. Corgis always act hungry.  Resist giving excessive food, treats and table scraps.  Over feeding is one of the worst things pet owners often do to their dogs.  If your dog is too fat, you are DEFINITELY feeding too much!!!!!!!!

Go to http://www.corgidogs.com/reba_pictures.html to see Reba, a 70 pound 2 year old female Corgi.  To control weight, make changes more or less gradually depending on the degree of under or over weight.  Usually, cutting food by about ¼ to ½ cup a day will result in gradual weight loss.  To achieve weight gain, add ½ cup  a day and make sure the dog is worm free.  Weigh your dog often and record the weights.  Adjust food as needed to maintain a healthy weight.  If you are one of those who can’t resist giving treats,  try carrot sticks, a banana slice,  an apple slice, or green beans.  Most dog biscuits are 100% nutritionally complete for dogs and they are good to a point.  The regular food amount can be adjusted to accommodate the number of biscuits fed.  You do NOT have to change to a "Lite" or "Senior Maintainence" dog food to control weight!  JUST FEED LESS FOOD!  AND PROVIDE MORE EXERCISE!

NAILS NEED TO BE GROUND OR CUT FREQUENTLY AND CORGIS HATE IT!  Be prepared for a struggle, but remain calm and persist.  I’ll gladly teach you how to cut nails or I’ll do it for you, but nails need attention about every two weeks. http://209.150.105.58/html/grooming/#nails  An Oster nail grinder works well, but we like the Black & Decker Wizard grinder the best.  Here is an excellent web site on grinding nails at How I Dremel Dog Nails.

TEETH start building tarter when Corgis are about a year old and it seems to form on our breed more quickly than it does on some others.  Have your vet clean your dog’s teeth once or twice a year so they will still be there when your pet gets old.  I clean my own dogs’ teeth because vets do give anesthesia for this procedure, but my dogs will all let me do their teeth while they are wide awake.  Do keep alert for tartar build up.  Once in awhile, I have the vet do a cleaning and polishing, too.

Dr. Dan Rader, a dentist friend who is a dog person put me on to this.......and now I highly recommend two items from the White Dog Bone Company.  Our dogs really go nuts over them. If you have room in the freezer, put the new ones there until you need them. They are smoked, but they could grow something in this weather. Go to http://www.whitedogbone.com/ and scroll down to "Real Bones," then to either small or large Meaty Tube Bones.  These bones are a great assist in keeping the tarter from building on teeth.  Another good thing is under "Dental Aides," Greenies. These will really keep your dog's teeth clean! They like them, too.  And if you are ever looking for a way to keep your dog busy and quiet for awhile, this is just the ticket!

TEETHING puppies will especially appreciate the Frosty Paws treats.  A good thing for pups to chew on is a damp washcloth tied in a knot and put in the freezer.  It feels good on those irritated gums. But for a special treat, try Homemade Frosty Paws
1 ripe banana
4 oz. fat free yogurt (vanilla or banana flavor works best)
2 oz. water
Mix together well in blender.  Pour into Frosty Paws sized cups (a cut down
Dixie cup or similar small container...just be aware that some dogs try to
eat the cup, too!) and freeze.  Makes about 6 servings.  Or freeze in ice cube trays or muffin tins

EARS should be checked to see if they are clean and smell normal.  Very dirty or smelly ears usually indicate a problem such as ear mites or an infection and would warrant a trip to the vet.  Normal light dirt can be cleaned with a cotton ball and one of the ear cleaning solutions available at your vet.  Do not try to clean down into the ear canal.  Puppy ears should be “up” by twelve weeks or they need to be taped up.  Contact me or another experienced breeder.  Do not try this yourself.

CRATE TRAINING is the easiest way to housebreak and is the safest way for your dog to ride in the car - better than doggie seat belts!  The crate size must not be too big or it is ineffective in teaching the puppy to wait until you let it outside.  A good size for Corgis is the # 200 Vari Kennel.  The floor is sold separately for some models, so be sure to get that, too.  Use the crate to confine your puppy when you can’t supervise him.  Let him outside immediately when he wakes up in the morning, when he wakes up after a nap, right after he eats, after a play session and, in addition, every 2 to 3 hours during the day and last thing at night.  Put the puppy in the crate when you leave the house and overnight until he gets the idea.  Do not let the puppy have the run of the house for a long time - perhaps until he’s two - unless you are watching him every second!  You may be able to block off one room (such as the kitchen) when he needs to move around or have some play time in the house.
Remember that dogs are den animals and they look upon their crates as a den.  They will often lie in their crates if you leave the door open, as Tillie is about to do!
 If household activities get to be overwhelming, the puppy will appreciate a rest in his crate.  But crates are not for constant use!  They are not to live in!

OBEDIENCE TRAINING is recommended for your puppy when he is 6 months old.  Many local obedience clubs offer classes.  Make sure not to use harsh training methods, however, as Corgis are sensitive.  Susan Strickland gives excellent classes next door to me.  Susan’s OTCH, “Bear,’” was the top obedience Corgi in the country in 1983 and the winner of two Dog World awards.  She has recently finished another OTCH on her "Pete".   Susan also gives private lessons here in Landenberg or you can leave your dog with her to train for two or three weeks. Call her at (610) 274-8834 for details.  If you don’t live close enough for Susan’s classes, there are others I may be able to tell you about.  Corgis also love AGILITY, TRACKING, FLYBALL and some like HERDING.  If you are interested in any of these activities, ask me to help you find where you can learn more about them.  [If you like obedience work, you may enjoy the series of mystery books by Susan Conant.  All but the latest are in paperback.]

SHOW HANDLING:  If your puppy is show quality, you may have some fun learning how to show in matches and shows.  I organize handling classes sponsored by the Delaware County Kennel Club and they are taught by excellent professional handlers.  In the winter, we meet at Susan Strickland’s training building next door in Landenberg.  In the summer, the classes are at the Newlin Grist Mill Park near the intersection on Routes 1 and  322 in Glen Mils, PA.  For more information on directions, schedules and cost, check the DCKC web site.  Amateur handlers can and do win with their Corgis at matches and dog shows!  For information on dates and locations of match shows, handling clinics, obedience clinics, agility matches, herding clinics, other performance events, educational seminars, tattoo clinics, eye clinics, etc., the following is an excellent up-to-date source:

BETTER HEALTH THROUGH CONTROL OF INTERNAL PARASITES, OR “WORMS”

WHY ARE REGULAR FECAL (STOOL) CHECKS IMPORTANT?
Internal parasites, commonly  known as “worms”, can dangerously sap the strength of your pet.  Most types of parasites produce eggs (or ova) that are shed into the stool.  When a small sample of stool is examined using the flotation technique,  these ova float to the top of the test solution and are collected on a glass slide to be examined under the microscope.  It is recommended that even a healthy pet’s stool be checked at least twice a year so that debilitating parasite infestations can be corrected before they do serious damage.  (Over the counter Pyrantel Pamoate works well and is safe).

ROUNDWORMS:

HOOKWORMS:
  WHIPWORMS:  (DOGS ONLY)


COCCIDIA:


GIARDIA:

TAPEWORMS:


CAN THE INTERNAL PARASITES OF DOGS AND CATS AFFECT PEOPLE?
Roundworms and hookworms can be a problem for children who play in soil or sand where dogs and cats have defecated.  Immature hookworms borrow into the soles of the feet and travel under the skin, making little red lines that cause intense itching.  Immature roundworms travel in the internal organs of the body, causing a variety of problems.

Toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by one of the coccidian parasites of the cat, can have serious consequences for the fetus of a pregnant woman.  Pregnant women should have someone else change litter or should wear rubber gloves when cleaning the litter box, make sure the box is cleaned once a day, and wash hands after handling any cat.
