Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy’s drooping ears prick up whitin its first 6 months. One owner says, “Most of the puppies are cheerful, but as they grow, they begin to show different characthers. Some become gloomy, and shyness and aggressiveness or bitting can be corrected by 7 months if they owner deals with them propely.”

The Pembroke is distinguished from the Cardigan primarily by its almost nonexistent tail; it must balance with its high end, producting an endearing wiggling walk. They are slightly smaller than the Cardigan and have a shorter coat, and their triangular ears are slightly sharper looking.

These dogs were originally cattle herders on the farm of Pembrokeshire. Like the Cardigan, the breed gained popularity after the British royal family acquired one during the early 20th century.

This small breed is rather quiet, but its voice is unexpectedly deep and loud. Very intelligent and independent. It is a natural guard dog. Pembroke needs to be trained strictly and given structure and lots of exercise; they enjoy running and are surprisingly fast. Their coat needs to be brushed only occasionally.
