One of the weakest corgi books out there,
By danull (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pembroke Welsh Corgi : An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
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.

Excellent Book,
By simcorgi@aol.com (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pembroke Welsh Corgi : An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
An excellent book for first time Pembroke Welsh Corgi Owners. Also a great addition to a current Pembroke Welsh Corgi owner/lover's library. Covers all basics that a Corgi owner should know as well as a section on training by Ian Dunbar. Great pictures are displayed giving you a good idea of what Pembroke Welsh Corgis look like. Debbie Harper has done a great job!

Good Information on Corgis...and overall dogs,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pembroke Welsh Corgi : An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
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.
