Breed Information

Overview

The Welsh Corgi is a loving and affectionate breed who will be a puppy at heart for its entire life. Extremely loving with its family, it will love to follow the family around and be involved in your everyday lives. Early socialization with children and small animals should help curb the herding tendency of the corgi and slow down its want to chase everything. Overall, the Corgi is an excellent family pet and will be generally friendly with strangers, other pets, and dogs with proper socialization.

Corgis are one of the most popular dog breeds. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi, one of two Corgi breeds, was the first recognized as the smallest member of the American Kennel Club’s Herding Group in 1934. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s history can be traced back to the 10th century, making it a very old dog breed.

One of the facts about Corgis is that there is more than one type of them. Not to be confused with their close relative, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a friendly and jovial dog breed that makes a great family pet. The easiest way to tell the difference between the two Welsh Corgi breeds is by the size, tails, and ears.

The Cardigan tends to be larger, has a full, long tail, and has larger, more rounded ears. Many Pembroke Welsh Corgis are slighter, have smaller, pointier ears, and are born with the short, docked tail they are known for. Pembrokes will generally have red, sable, fawn, or black and tan coat colors while Cardigans tend to have red, sable, brindle, black, and blue merle coat colors.

The word Corgi in the Welsh language means “Dwarf Dog”, which definitely works given the Corgi’s small stature. Although they are small dogs with shorter legs, they are surely not short on personality as they are energetic and fun dogs. Pembroke Welsh Corgis have been the preferred breed of the British Royal family for over 70 years; the late Queen Elizabeth II owned over 30 Pembroke Welsh Corgis during her reign.

Temperament

The Welsh Corgi is a loving and affectionate breed that will be a puppy at heart for their entire life. Extremely loving with their family, they will often bond closely with them and tend to love following their family around and being involved in their everyday lives. Properly socialized and trained, Corgis are known to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. They will even be generally open and friendly with strangers, which is good as they are bound to attract attention while out on walks.
