Welsh Corgi Pembroke.
Corgi.
Welsh Corgi Pembroke.
But you have to make a British accent to say it.
Welsh Corgi Pembroke.
Well, who is Welsh Corgi Pembroke?
It's a breed of dog.
A breed that I didn't know, I confess.
The first time I saw it was with Ratão Borrachudo.
Do you remember?
Who doesn't know Tantanzinho?
Take a look.
Ratão Borrachudo!
Finally I brought this guy to my house.
It's a different dog.
It's a shepherd.
Literally, it's a shepherd.
An animal that weighs, I don't know, 14 kilos.
10 or 14 kilos.
It's a flat shepherd.
It's a shepherd.
We'll find out.
But look what a happy coincidence.
Look who raises this dog today.
Sensational!
Look who raises this dog.
Luiz Esquiavão.
Yes, my friend.
How are you?
Man, this is the dog...
Is this a puppy?
Is it young?
It's 8 months old.
8 months old.
These are adults?
These are adults.
Who is Tantanzinho's brother?
This one.
This guy here?
Who is Tantanzinho?
It's Tantan 2.
It's Tantan 2?
Yes.
But you're very happy.
Very happy.
Come here.
Let me see you.
OK.
This one here.
It's...
What's its breed?
Pembroke.
Welsh Corgi Pembroke.
I think Queen Elizabeth is crazy about this dog.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They, they...
They got some dogs.
Some dogs.
In the 1930s.
And then they kept the breed for 60 years.
Now that the last one died, it doesn't breed anymore.
Oh, it doesn't breed anymore.
No.
It's been a few months.
It came from the country of Gales, right?
Yes, from the country of Gales.
Corgi, in the dialect, means small dog.
Small dog.
And Pembroke is the county of Pembrokeshire.
It's where the breed came from.
So it's the Gaulish dog.
The small Gaulish dog of Pembroke.
But what a complicated name for you.
I don't understand.
But...
OK, tell me something.
We've already realized that it's a super affectionate dog.
Like all shepherds.
It has this socialization tendency.
And it certainly tolerates other animals.
Yes.
Or not?
Well, it's also a guard dog.
It's also a guard dog?
Yes, it is.
It's an alarm dog.
If a strange person comes in, it barks.
If there's something different in the territory, it barks.
It avoids because it's not big to confront.
But if it needs to, it goes to fight.
But it's very easy to socialize.
It's very smart, like all shepherds.
For example, if it came to my house, it's part of the house.
It recognizes that it's a friend.
It's a smart dog.
Yes, all shepherds are smart.
And...
It learns very fast.
It socializes very well with children.
It tolerates a lot of play.
It gets along well with other animals.
Another one has just arrived.
Some of these shepherds are in my house.
It's nearby.
Yes.
And...
There's a camel.
There's...
There's a parrot.
There's everything.
And it gets along well with everyone.
It's calm.
There's no problem.
Now, the characteristic of shepherds...
Of shepherding dogs...
Is that they are always together.
Like Border Collie, for example.
When you have a small child at home.
I've had Border Collie with a small child.
They are together all the time.
Shepherding.
Yes.
They have a way.
They are shepherds of smaller animals.
Goats, for example.
In the United Kingdom, they use a lot of corgis.
Sheep and so on.
And what do they do?
They bite here.
From behind the legs.
To lead the animals to where they want.
Is she the culprit?
She invented it.
It's a very funny story.
That's cool!
I was doing a...
A website about breeds.
And I had to study all breeds.
I was enchanted when I saw the history of the corgi.
Yes.
And then, without ever having seen one, just for the story.
Yes.
I imported a couple.
Ah, you brought them from abroad?
Without ever having seen them.
Just because of what the breed was.
How long have you been doing this?
Almost 20 years.
20 years?
It's been a long time.
But it's not a common dog, right?
No, no.
Now it's becoming a little fashionable.
Yes.
But it's not a common breed.
Because now there are famous representatives here in Brazil.
So, I think the rat is the one that promotes this breed the most.
The corgi is the rat.
Come here, baby!
Come here!
I saw that there is a color variation here.
The standard color.
In fact, there are more than one variation.
I mean, some have this white collar.
Others have less white.
Some have a black collar.
A black coat.
Is there a defined standard?
No.
There are some colors.
That one over there.
It doesn't have black fur like this one.
That one over there?
That one over there is red and white.
OK!
That one over there.
Look!
That one!
Do you see a black thing on top?
Like the one from Tantã.
Ah, that one over there!
No, that one!
That one!
That one is red and white.
But it has black fur.
Do you see it?
Ah, OK!
This one is the sable.
Sable!
So, there is the sable, the red and white.
The red and white.
And the tricolor.
OK!
And the blackhead tricolor.
This one is also...
Blackhead tricolor.
Ha, ha, ha!
Oh, I'm so happy!
OK!
Characteristics.
Well, we've already seen one.
They're really cheerful.
They have a lot of energy.
So, they adapt very well to apartments,
to smaller houses.
But you have to train them.
You have to walk with them.
They're shepherds.
So, they have a lot of energy.
You have to give them a lot of energy.
I see, I see.
Now they let go.
Now they're smart.
They understand...
You keep them in a house, right?
It's a different dynamic.
I see.
But if the guy wants to keep them inside the house,
it's OK.
It goes well.
They learn very fast.
Tantan, for example, lives in an apartment.
Oh, Tantan lives in an apartment.
And they learn to follow the routines.
So, they always do the necessities in the same place.
A toilet paper, a newspaper, etc.
They learn very fast.
By intelligence, by attention.
They're always looking at you.
So, it's a company dog.
We can say it's a functional dog.
That's why I define many breeds.
And there are many people who criticize
because they think that everything has to be adopted.
The breed was developed for a specific function.
The breed was developed to meet a demand.
So, well...
To give continuity to breeds.
How can you extinguish something that has a genetic work?
Some animals are thousands of years old.
We have breeds that are thousands of years old.
So, how can you simply extinguish these characteristics
that are specific to a functionality?
Right?
Oh, but I want a company dog.
OK.
If you don't have one, adopt it.
But have the possibility to buy a breed with defined characteristics.
How many puppies?
Few.
On average?
Yes.
Sometimes...
Usually around five.
But I've had around eleven puppies.
It's rare to happen.
But there are also two or three puppies.
Does it give you a headache?
Do you have to do some special follow-up?
Yes.
It's a breed that doesn't give problems.
But the reproduction of the breed is very complicated.
I see.
It's hard to have dogs...
I believe that 80% to 90% of births are through cesarean section.
After two or three months...
The puppies are still a little sensitive.
From then on, it's a tank of gas.
The animal doesn't get sick.
So it's not the type of dog that the veterinarian likes.
On the contrary.
I think the type of dog that the veterinarian likes is when it's a puppy.
Oh, when it's a puppy?
Yes.
It really has to be very careful when it's new.
It has to stay on top.
Ferminosis in puppies is serious if you don't take care of them.
And they usually don't show that they're going to give birth.
So you have to monitor them through ultrasound.
That's why it's a little more expensive breed.
Because you have to take very good care of them.
From the gestation phase until the birth.
And from the puppies until about two months.
Then it's over.
It's a super healthy dog.
Do you usually release the dog?
Never before 60 days.
Because it's the period that stays with you the most.
It's the minimum we release.
Sometimes we hold it a little longer.
Give it one more dose of vaccine.
One more puppy at the minimum.
We make the puppy at 30 days.
At 45 days we make the first dose of V8 or V10.
And usually I give the corgi around 66 or 70 days.
Because then I make the second dose of V8 or V10.
I want an average.
Of course we know that they are exemplary.
But an average dog that is not the champion of the breed.
The example of the breed.
On average, how much does a corgi cost?
On average.
Because the guy will not find a good dog for less than that.
A good dog for less than V8 you will not find.
I mean, it's an expensive dog.
Relatively expensive.
That's it.
We had to come back.
Because in the end the corgis were born.
Remember that he was pregnant?
There was a pregnant female when we came.
Remember?
It was commented.
And then they were born.
They were born very cute corgis.
And there's the little black and white.
So, she is a beautiful female.
What happens is that the standard does not ask for a whole white face.
You need to see the eyes.
Oh, how boring.
If she had ...
She is a wonderful pet.
But I can't sell her for reproduction.
How long now?
It's been two and a half months.
And these have just completed two months.
Well, they are ...
Oh, I'll get one in there for you to see.
It's tiny, it didn't even go up the ear.
Oh, I want to see, I want to see.
Well, we came back because I forgot to bring a gift.
It's true that Furacão Pet sent it.
This is a transport box.
I'm sure that when the corgis were sold.
This is a box that will accompany the corgi.
These boxes are super practical, man.
Because you can see them.
And it's not a grid in front.
This is important because it doesn't hurt the animal.
Got it?
The animal is stuck in the hole and it doesn't hurt.
You have a super cool front cover here.
And you disassemble the boxes in a very easy way.
This is good for you to be able to sanitize the boxes.
And clean them.
So it's super easy for you to do maintenance.
And you don't have those things.
Have you ever seen those transport boxes full of crap?
It's hard for you.
This is super simple.
You put it here, lock it with one hand, lock it with the other.
Lock it with the other, lock it with the other.
Wow, that's cool.
This is a gift for you.
Oh, how beautiful.
This is a micro.
This is a micro?
How can there be a micro in this breed?
These two are her children.
This one here?
Yes.
And this one here is a single girl.
She was born with no money.
I don't know how I saved her.
Well, Furacão sent you a gift.
Wow, how cute.
And thank you for your welcome.
As always, your affection and your care with this breed.
They are very cute.
Subscribe to our channel.
Every month we have our breed guide.
And a lot of people get into a controversy with me.
I think we're in a situation here.
It's very easy to defend the flag.
The love for animals and street animals.
So we have to stop everything.
Because the creation of breeds is creating this problem.
No, no, no.
It's not the creation of responsible breeds that is creating this problem of street dogs and cats.
We have to adopt, we have to have very serious public policies in relation to this.
We also have to help these protectors to orient themselves properly.
Even here in Granja Viana.
How many protectors have 500, 800 dogs stuck in a smaller space than this one?
This is not animal welfare.
So we have to work together for a better society.
Separate those breeders who only want to make money.
And who don't take good care of the animals.
As well as the protectors who also don't have conditions.
Sometimes not only economic.
But sometimes even psychological.
To take care of those animals.
Because I don't know if they do more good for the animals or for themselves.
But anyway.
It's a much more complex problem.
So don't be obtuse.
Understand the problem as a whole.
OK? We're in this together!
