Raising a Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a separate breed of dog with its own look and temperament. The name "Pembroke" comes from the Welsh county of the same name, from which these dogs originated. Both their English and Welsh names are indicative of their Welsh ancestry; "Welsh" means "dwarf dog" in Welsh, and "Corgi" means "little dog" in English.
- Short legs, a long torso, and pointy ears are just a few of the distinguishing features of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. They are a little breed, with a height at the shoulder of just 10 to 12 inches and a weight of 24 to 30 pounds at the most.
- These dogs were originally bred for herding purposes, particularly for herding cattle, in Wales. Nipping at the heels of livestock without being kicked was made possible by their diminutive stature. Modern Pembroke Welsh Corgis still retain some of their ancestor's herding aptitude and intelligence, making them smart and nimble pets.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are popular pets because they are sociable, loving, and devoted to their families. They can have red, sable, or tricolor (black, white, and tan) fur. They are loved by people all around the world because of their kind nature, intelligence, and trainability.
