The Welsh corgi is a small type of herding dog that originated in Wales.
Two distinct breeds are recognized: the Pembroke Welsh corgi and the Cardigan Welsh corgi, with the Pembroke being the more common.

Corgis are healthy dogs, living into their early or middle teens; however, both do suffer from a few hereditary diseases.

The most famous Welsh corgis were perhaps those of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, who kept at least four corgis.

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is obedient, loving, loyal, and deeply devoted. They are outgoing, friendly, and thrive on human companionship and attention. This breed is alert, fearless, and assertive.
They make an excellent guard dog, but their tenacity can sometimes lead them into trouble.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is best suited for a family with older and considerate children. If they are left alone for extended periods of time they will become restless and bored which will lead to destructiveness and excessive barking. They are often wary of strangers and over-protective of their family and territory.

Due to their herding nature, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi will attempt to perform this task on anything and everything that moves. This breed typically does well with other pets.

Long and low with a robust build, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is spirited, athletic, and dependable.
This versatile companion has a strong work ethic, and displays an intelligent and interested expression.
They are often considered to be “a big dog in a small dog’s suit”.
