While at home in Hawaii for the holidays, I picked this book up for a little bit of beachside education:
I found it thoroughly enjoyable and informative. I enjoyed the history of the breeds much more than I had anticipated (strange seeing as I hold a degree in history). It also has good sections on breed standards for both the Pembroke and Cardigan. I learned a great deal about the differences and similarities between to two. I found the question about which breed being the "true" breed a bit like the question of which came first: the chicken or the egg?
For a first timer like me (I mean I've had dogs all my life but most of the grunt work was done by my grandparents, sorry!), the information about what to expect from your Corgi, the subtle differences between males and females, and tips on how to get your life and your house ready for owning a dog were extremely helpful and encouraging.
I'm glad that I picked this up and would recommend it to anyone wanting an introduction to the breed and deciding if a Corgi is right for you.
