I don't think of Corgis as Antarctic dogs eg dogs suited to the winters of Siberia, Greenland, the Northern outreaches of Canada, snow capped mountains etc; but they are definitely dogs for the cool and temperate climates as their double, reasonably thick coats testify towards. They are not dogs for the hot climates and regions of the world with 12 months of warm to hot temperatures. A searing sun is their enemy and Corgis will seek shade and a cool spot away from the sun. To put it another way, Corgis are not suitable in the huge heartland of Australia, or in North Africa but would be very suited to live in such places as Vancouver in Canada or Wellington in New Zealand or Britain where summers are short and the other three seasons more prevalent.
