Everything Corgi is a tremendous collection of some of the wisdom and the wide range of emotions familiar to all who love animals. The section on foods and feeding is the most comprehensive and useful as I have ever seen. The chapters on training, competing, and caring for a pet are fantastic roadmaps for those interested in experiencing those opportunities. There are funny, lighthearted, and fanciful stories of these little faerie steeds that will bring a smile to your face and the stories of beloved pets gone to the Rainbow Bridge to tug at your heartstrings and maybe bring a tear to your eye. But one of the very best things is the story of CorgiAid and how this book came to be through the generosity and the love of the breed of it's contributing authors. This magnificent work has been created to benefit CorgiAid, a fund which assists rescue corgis with medical expenses and another chance at life, and that is a blessing to these little creatures who give more than they ask.

Great information, easy to understand, throrough and very entertaining. Practical guide to picking your puppy, finding a
reputable breeder or rescue organization, how to feed, groom,
train and understand the breed. Funny and heartwrenching, I read
it all from cover to cover and started again! The chapter about the founding of CorgiAid and it's little mascot dog left me with a lump in my throat. I was surprised to see just how many jobs the corgi can do, and do well! They are truly a big dog in a small dog suit. I'm so glad I found all this information together in one well written book and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about, or already owns a corgi.

_Everything Corgi_ is a great resource for people who own corgis, or people who think they might want to own a corgi. These incredible and irrepressable dogs will take over your house and your life, and you will love every minute of it. From absolutely excellent advice on care, to discussion of the corgi's place in agility and obedience, to stories about corgis, this book is in fact, everything corgi. Because it covers Cardigan Corgis in some detail, it is a necessary resource for Cardigan lovers, as well as the better-known Pembroke Corgi fanciers.

Buy this book, and contribute to a very worthwhile charity, CorgiAid.

Wonderful book, full of down to earth information for the novice as well as the experienced corgi owner. "Everything" has more information on the feeding, care and quirks of this enchanted breed than any other single book I've read. Whether you are already owned by a corgi, or looking for information to help you in your search, this is the book for you! Lighthearted stories
and touching real life accounts will bring a smile to your heart
and probably a few tears, too.
I'm sure you'll spend many hours enjoying this book from cover to cover, and refer back to it time and time again.

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.

Everything Corgi is a lot of fun to read. Who knew these dogs were such clowns! You will really get a handle on Corgi personalities, and discover why their owners are crazy about them. Kudos to the group of folks who put this book together.

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.

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.

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. :)

We have a Corgi and this book shows so many of the things that our corgi does. I am giving this book to my husband for Christmas and I know that he will love it.
