The Pembroke Welsh Corgi descends from a crossbreeding of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi with either the Schipperke and Pomeranian or the Swedish Vallhund, which travelled to Wales with the Vikings. It is the smallest herding breed. 'Cor gi' translates to 'dwarf dog' or 'gathering dog' in Welsh; the rest of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi's name comes from its birthplace of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Originally used as a hunter and guard dog, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi was later trained to herd cattle and sheep. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi was not used as a show dog until the 1920's.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has a shoulder height of 10-12 inches and weighs up to 30 lbs; it is almost twice as long as it is tall. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has a flat skull and large, high-set, erect, rounded ears. Pembroke Welsh Corgis have a docked or natural bob tail.
Corgis, while small in size, are big in personality and abound with energy. Often referred to as a "big dog with short legs," they are extremely intelligent and make wonderful companions and show dogs, as well as excelling in herding, agility, tracking and obedience. They can adapt just as easily to apartment living as they can on a farm, as long as they get adequate exercise. Their sturdy nature makes them a great choice for a child's pet as they are natural clowns and love to play and are small enough that children can train them. They are loving and devoted and easily fit into family life.
