Pembroke Welsh Corgi

This companionable dog is great with children but may nip at heels. It is reserved with strangers and some tend to bark.

Breed Overview

Originating in Wales during the 1100s, this small farm helper was used as a cattle drover. They are outgoing, playful, active, quick-witted, loving, and companionable dogs. These devoted family members are very good with children and may be slightly reserved with strangers. Daily exercise, mental and physical is ideal for these big-eared little companions. A moderate walk or a good play session daily would suffice. Ideal human companions for the Corgi are singles, outdoor enthusiasts, ranchers, active individuals, and families. Coat care requires weekly brushing.
