Origin
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a
member of the Herding Group by American Kennel Club.
From ocean to hills the Pembroke lived in its native
Wales for centuries as farm dogs. Dog experts
have two theories about their origin, but no one is
sure which one is right. And as is so often
the case, there may be a little bit of truth to each
tale. The first theory is that Vikings brought
spitz-type dogs with them to Wales, where they
interbred with the local herding dogs. |

Corgis! |
The other
theory is that the Flemish weavers who settled in
western Wales in 1107 brought their spitz-type dogs
with them, which interbred with the local herding
dogs. Which ever story you may believe the
Pembroke has a spitz dog influence, which can be
seen in its triangular head and muzzle, erect ears
and thick coat. Pembrokes have accomplished
far beyond yesteryears of herding to show dogs,
agility, obedience, therapy dogs and of course
companions. |
APPEARANCE
The official standard describes the
Pembroke's general appearance as low set, strong, sturdily
built and active, giving an impression of substance and
stamina in a small space with a broad flat skull and a foxy
shaped head. His ears are large and erect. They
have weather resistant “wash and wear” coat which requires
little maintenance, but do shed (usually twice a year).
Acceptable colors are red, sable, fawn, black and tan with
or without white markings. |
COMPANION
The Corgis are fun loving,
happy, exceptionally smart, they just go with the
flow. Whatever your family is involved in
activity wise they are willing to participate
(swimming, boating, hiking). No mater what
sport or activity you choose, the goal should be a
fun way to keep your Corgi fit while bonding with
your companion. Corgis can be fast as
lightning or fly like the wind outside and yet love
to sit or lie down with you and be a couch potato.
The personality of a Pembroke is outgoing, active,
alert, cheerful bright little dog and full of life.
They are bold & dominant in a nice way. They
want to be part of every aspect of your life.
Your Corgi will always be ready for action and fun. |

The Corgi does it all. The highly
intelligent eager, quick to learn Pembroke is a natural at
many jobs in the canine world. They have been used as
hearing dogs and in therapy service. The Pembroke is a
dependable dog and is easy to train.
The Pembroke is an affectionate family dog that adapts equally
well to children and adults.
Dogs are good for the heart. |
RIGHT BREED FOR YOU
Ask this question. Are you a Corgi
person? Are you ready and willing to commit and care for a dog
possibly as long as 11 to 13 years? Are you able to have the
time or willingness to make time to have a Pembroke as a
companion or a member of your family? When you are home the dog
is not left outside but is included whenever possible in the
evening and weekend activities. If you are not willing to make
your Corgi part of the family don’t get a Corgi. Pick another
breed.
