About the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small, sturdy, and energetic herding dog, instantly recognizable by its long body, short legs, and foxy, expressive face. Bred to drive cattle by nipping at their heels, they are surprisingly athletic, intelligent, and bold for their size. They are affectionate, loyal family companions with a big-dog personality packed into a compact frame. Pembroke Corgis are highly trainable, alert, and make excellent watchdogs, though their herding instinct can manifest as nipping. They are one of the most popular herding breeds in the world, famously owned by the British Royal Family.
