The Pembroke Welsh Corgi
All About Pembrokes
A tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a strong, athletic, and lively little herder
who is affectionate and companionable without being needy. They are one
of the world's most popular herding breeds. At 10-12 inches shoulder
height and 27-30 pounds, a well-built male Pembroke presents a big dog
in a small package. Short but powerful legs, muscular thighs, and a deep
chest equip him for a hard day's work. Built long and low, Pembrokes are
surprisingly quick and agile. They can be red, sable, fawn, and black &
tan, with or without white markings. The Pembroke is a bright, sensitive
dog who enjoys play with his human family and responds well to training.
As herders bred to move cattle, they are fearless and independent. They
are vigilant watchdogs, with acute senses and a 'big dog' bark. Families
who can meet their bold but kindly Pembroke's need for activity and
togetherness will never have a more loyal, loving pet. Welsh legend says
the fairies and elves of Wales used the Pembroke Welsh Corgi to pull
fairy coaches, work fairy cattle, and serve as the steed for fairy
warriors.
