  5. Care for a Corgi • Need lots of attention and interaction • Tend to be overweight, so they need lots of exercise and a good diet • Need to be able to run around • Lose their coat a few times a year, so they need to be groomed and brushed regularly

  6. Appearance • May be tri-colored (black, tan, and white), or red and white • Can be distinguished from Cardigans because they have no tail • Medium length coarse hair and a waterproof undercoat
