The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small herding dog that originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Famous for being the preferred breed of Queen Elizabeth II, they are beloved for their fox-like faces and short legs.

A Natural Herder

Don’t let the short legs fool you; Corgis were bred to herd cattle by nipping at their heels. Their low stature allowed them to avoid being kicked. Even today, many Corgis retain their herding instincts and will try to “round up” children or other pets.

Spirited and Social

Corgis are known for their big personalities. they are smart, fun-loving, and sometimes a bit bossy. They are generally outgoing and love to be the center of attention. Their alert nature makes them surprisingly good watchdogs.

Care and Activity

Corgis have a thick double coat that sheds significantly, requiring regular brushing. Because they love food, they are prone to obesity, which can put strain on their long backs. Daily walks and play sessions are essential to keep them fit and happy.
