The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small but sturdy herding breed known for its intelligence, playful nature, and loyalty. Originally bred for herding cattle, they are active dogs that thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation. Their short-haired, double coat sheds heavily year-round, with seasonal shedding peaks, requiring regular brushing. Training is generally easy, as they are highly intelligent and eager to please, but they may show independent streaks at times.
Dating back to at least the 10th century, Pembroke Welsh Corgis were used as herding dogs in Wales. They gained worldwide recognition, partly due to their association with Queen Elizabeth II, who famously adored the breed.
