Spirited and athletic, steady and dependable, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a true "big dog on short legs."
Herding, obedience, agility, or chasing balls (with surprising speed) are enjoyable outlets for his enthusiasm and desire to work. Corgis are smart dogs who need something to do.

With their short legs and long body, Pembroke Welsh Corgis don't need or want miles of running exercise. But they must have several daily walks and a fenced yard in which to stretch their legs and romp. Just as important as physical exercise is mental exercise, which means interesting activities to do. Corgis are intelligent herding dogs who like to keep busy.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are smart, but they do have an independent mind of their own (as do most herding breeds) and are not pushovers to raise and train. They can be manipulative or willful. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say. To teach your Corgi to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. Read more about Pembroke Welsh Corgi Training.

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a loyal and loving dog. Excellent with the family, these dogs are devoted and obedient with their owners. However, they are not a good breed for children who annoy or tease dogs. Usually this breed is fine with other dogs except if the two dogs are both male. This breed is always really wary of strangers and can become extremely over protective. Wonderful dogs for training, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is intelligent and willing to listen to their owners. One problem this breed has is nipping at people’s heels because they try to herd them, however, with training this behavior can be stopped.

Grooming does not require much time or energy. Brushing should be done occasionally but baths are needed rarely. Exercise is important for this breed that was bred to run around a farm herding for long periods of time so long walks and play sessions will be very enjoyable for them. Plus, they need exercise because they are prone to obesity and plenty of exercise will prevent that.

Pembrokes have a remarkable affinity for children, but thanks to their herding instincts, they sometimes nip at children's feet or ankles. Pems are eager learners, though, and can be trained out of this behavior at a young age. As with every breed, you should always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. Teach your child never to approach any dog while he's eating or sleeping or to try to take the dog's food away. No dog, no matter how friendly, should ever be left unsupervised with a child. They usually are good with other pets in the household, so long as they have been socialized with them.

Despite their high energy level, Pembroke Welsh Corgis only need a moderate amount of exercise to maintain health and happiness. They are adaptable, and can happily dwell on a ranch, in a home with a yard, in an apartment or condominium. They should be walked daily, and if they don't have a yard to play in at home, should be allowed to run in a park at least once a week.
Despite their need for moderate exercise, Corgis need a lot of mental stimulation. As with other breeds who have roots as farm dogs, they like to stay busy. They excel in agility training and advanced obedience. If not properly exercised physically and mentally, Corgis can become anxious and destructive when left alone.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis have interested plucky temperaments. They love to run and play with surprising athleticism for a dog with such short legs. Give them plenty of companionship and you will have one very happy dog. They are friendly with other pets and happy to meet new people. When playing with children their herding heritage may take over with them trying to herd children through heel nipping which needs to be discouraged through consistent training.

Corgis have a magical background. Legends say that these dogs were used by fairies and elves to pull coaches, work their cattle, and as a riding steed.
We do know these dogs have been used as herders, guardians of farms, and as family companions in Wales since the tenth century.
They may be descended from the Vallhunds- Swedish cattle dogs- or their ancestors may be the Flemish Schipperkes and Pomeranians brought into Wales by Flemish weavers, invited to Britain by King Henry I in 1107.

Corgis will do fine in an apartment if they are sufficiently exercised. With enough exercise they can be calm indoors, but will be very active if they are lacking. Will do okay without a yard so long as they are taken for daily walks.

Training will be enjoyable. This dog is inclined to listen to commands and obey its owner. This breed will require fewer repetitions to obey specific instructions, pleasing owners who like to see quick results.

The Pembroke Welsh corgi is moderately long and low, and less heavily boned than the Cardigan Welsh corgi. Its movement is free and smooth, with good reach and drive. This is a breed that needs to be quick and agile, even after herding all day, in order to avoid the cattle's kicking hooves. It combines a weather-resistant undercoat of medium length with a coarser outer coat of slightly longer length. Its expression is intelligent and interested, foxy, but not sly.
Quick and quick-witted, the Pembroke Welsh corgi has an active mind and body. It needs daily physical and mental exercise to be at its best in the house. It is devoted and willing to please, fun-loving, amiable and companionable. It is very good with children, although it can nip at heels in play. It is usually reserved with strangers. Many bark a lot.

I ❤️ my corgi! I’ve noticed that mine seems to be able to make a clear distinction between fellow corgis and other breeds. When we go to the park or just on walks, if there’s 10 dogs we see and 1 is a corgi, she’ll hide behind me 9 times, acting shy and scared but then she can just about pull me over to get to the other corgi. The happy snorting and bouncing and woo-ing ensues. Anyone else ever notice this? I had a Jack Russell and he was happy to play with any kind of dog or animal, never seemed to pay special attention to other Jacks.

I had a Corgi named Pebbles. She would play fetch until your arm got tired and she would smack my other Noorwetian Elkhound, Lola, in the face with a rope until Lola would play tug-of-war. And she was insanely intelligent for a dog. She would walk beneath the end table and push the drawer out with from inside the table with her nose to get her toys inside. And we taught her how to count so sometimes when my mother was grading her students homework and doing math out loud Pebbles would be tapping her paws on the ground lol. Sadly she developed degenerative myelopathy and was resigned to a doggie wheelchair and we eventually had to put her down a year after Lola died of a stroke. They are very loving dogs. After Lola died Pebbles was clearly depressed and kind of gave up on the wheelchair, preferring to just lay in her bed all day. I would get another Corgi in a heartbeat and would recommend this breed to anyone, she was an awesome dog and bought our family much joy and good times.

Corgis are the best breed in the world. I've had a lot of dogs in my life and none can match the corgi in personality, attitude, and/or enthusiasm.
