Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Overview
Overview of Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is perhaps most well known because of Queen Elizabeth II's love of the breed. She has owned over thirty Corgis during her reign, and many were descended from her first Corgi, Susan. There is even a cute animated movie about her favorite doggos. There is no traceable breed history, but some say that dogs were first brought over to Pembrokeshire, Wales by Flemish Weavers in the 1800s. There are two varieties of the Corgi and the Pembroke is definitely the more popular of the two. Not only are they a Queen favorite, but Pembroke Welsh Corgis can also bust a move! With their fluffy hindquarters, enthusiastic smile and boundless energy, these pups have been known to dance to music. How could you not love a dog that dances? Corgis originally herded and guarded cattle—their short stature kept them at the perfect height to nip at heels while ducking under stomping hooves!

Looking for a sweet pup that is devoted, low to the ground and has rhythm? Well, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi may be the perfect companion for you!
