Detail Breeders Pictures Comments Books Other Resources  

  Description:
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a most agreeable small house dog with an affectionate nature. It has become closely associated with the British monarchy. In 1933 the Duke of York obtained for his daughter a Pembroke puppy and it remains a royal favorite. The Corgi is an intelligent and remarkably alert breed who is wary of strangers and makes a very good watchdog. Although known for their bark being worse than their bite, they do have a tendency to nip at the heels of people and should be discouraged at a young age to remove the trait. The Pembroke requires companionship and without this may develop undesirable methods of seeking attention. Differences between the Pembroke and the Cardigan: The Pembroke has straighter legs; is not quite as long bodied; the head is generally more wedged-shaped; the ears are smaller and closer together; it is usually lighter; and it does not have a tail or as bushy a tail as the Cardigan does.
