About The Breed
Originating in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and named after its origin, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is among the smallest of the herding dogs recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Often confused with the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, the Pembroke Corgis and Cardigan are very similar dogs, and until 1934 were recognized as the same dog breed. Although they were originally bred and seen as the same dog, the two are now separate breeds that are AKC-registered.
The Pembroke is slightly smaller in size and has a docked tail, whereas the Cardigan has a long tail. This breed, originally developed to herd cattle, is much less of a working dog today and much more of a family dog. Their sweet, affectionate, and loyal personality makes them great family pets.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgis have long been the favorites of royal houses, with more notable fans like King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
Appearance and Grooming
With dark oval-shaped eyes and ears that are always upright, the Pembroke is notably a standout breed in the AKC. It has a medium-length top coat that can come in a multitude of colors from red to tri-colored (red, black, and tan), and often with white markings on the legs, chest, neck, and muzzle. It also has a double-coated fur with a short undercoat, which means shedding can be quite significant in both the spring and the fall. Routine grooming in addition to weekly brushing can help control this considerably.
The breed's signature features include erect ears, a docked tail, and short legs.
Temperament
These pups are very loyal and love attention. Although they are an intelligent dog breed that is easy to train, they do have a mind of their own and tend to beat to their own drum if proper training is not done at an early age. They are eager to please their owners and family and so they will be sure to follow you wherever you go. Because of their lineage, they do have the tendency to try to herd - this type of behavior should not be encouraged as it is a sign of dominance. Their herding instinct can be quite high.
Family and Companionship
Their devotion and protective attitude make them perfect watchdogs and companions. They are great with children and other pets as long as herding behaviors are corrected early on. They adapt very well to all settings both small in size, such as an apartment or in a larger rural setting if they are given proper exercise and play.
Exercise
This pooch loves to eat as much as it loves to exercise. Make sure to monitor their food consumption as these dogs are prone to weight gain. Daily walks along with active play are just what this pup needs to remain fit and healthy.
Training and Socialization
Known for their high intelligence and need-to-please attitude, these dogs will do what it takes to make their owners happy. They also have a tendency to crave attention and a position of leadership, which can lead them to show off their dominant trait. This is a dog that loves to hear itself “speak”. If left to their own devices, they will develop a habit of barking. Herding other animals and smaller children can also be something they are inclined to do. Early socialization and training can help to break or prevent this habit. These puppies are easy to train, but they do require positive reinforcement and reward-based motivation.
