#7 Corgi, as breeds that have not been encroached upon by human breeding activities, are hardy and resilient and rarely fall ill.
However, they are predisposed to PRA - progressive retinal atrophy and recurrent problems with intervertebral discs - namely prolapse. The likelihood of the first disease can be reduced by choosing a breed in which successive generations have been free of the disease.
#8 It is not possible to predict that the disc will fall out, but you can take preventive measures – avoid fast and frequent climbing of stairs or high jumps, for example on sofas, it is also important to strengthen joints and muscles, and – most importantly – not allow that the dog is overweight.
Corgis are prone to obesity, so it's important that your pup gets a good diet. Their feed should contain as few carbohydrates as possible and be processed as little as possible.
#9 On average, Corgi live between 12 and 15 years.
