Welsh Corgi Purebred
|
"corgi" comes from the Welsh language and means "dwarf dog."
The Pembroke is the smallest dog in the herding group, low-set, nub of a tail, strong, sturdily built, and active, giving an impression of substance and stamina in a small space.
The Pembroke is the smaller and lighter of the two corgi breeds and has the docked/short tail.
The Pembroke is an active dog, bold, but kindly, never shy or vicious, who is willing and able to carry out his owner's commands in the pasture, the obedience ring, or the family home.
The typical Pembroke is happy, obedient, friendly, and confident, and great fun to live with and extremely food motivated so weight problems can be an issue.
