Is the "g" in "Corgi" pronounced as the g in good or as the g in germ?
Perhaps a pronunciation guide could be added to the start of the article.
- Good suggestion. Done. Of course, now it makes me think that it ought to be done in *all* of the nonobvious breed pages... sigh... Elf | Talk 17:15, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Popularity in britain
Note just added that they've fallen out of favor in britain AND that this is due to association with monarchy--can someone cite sources to show BOTH allegations? It sounds on the face of it like someone's opinion, because I've read that their popularity increased due to exposure through royal family Elf | Talk 18:04, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- According to: AKC Dog Registration Statistics in the US their popularity is actually rising. I would guess the same for the UK. I have removed the text and placed below until some sort of #'s can be produced. -Ravedave 20:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
The text removed:
Recently, Corgis have fallen out of favour with the British public due to Monarchistic associations and consequently are now uncommon in most areas, with the exceptions of Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire.
[edit] Forign languages
This is the chineese pembroke page. I have no idea how to link it [1] -Ravedave 16:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- nevermind I just added the link with the % s -Ravedave 16:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Miscellaneous
Could someone please elaborate on the third bullet point that discusses corgi's as being considered "Damn it dogs"? The entire comment seems rather vague. I'm not certain what these "shows" are that it refers to, nor do I understand what it means for them to think "We are corgis damn it."
- Seems like nonsense to me, I just removed it. -Ravedave 04:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pembroke Welsh Corgi Appearance
I just made an edit with regards to the shedding qualities of Pems. It really needed to be said that corgis shed all year long, with major shedding occurring during seasonal (temperature) changes. If a non-corgi person should come to this entry looking for information, they need to know that.
Also, I'm surprised there isn't mention of the fluffy coat fault, with a picture for reference. I'll check with a friend of mine to help rectify that.
