General Information On The Welsh Corgi (Pembroke Corgi)

Records have been discovered that states that the Welsh Corgi (Pembroke Corgi) has existed in the UK since a least 920 AD. They are thought to have been brought to Wales by the Flemish weavers. They were very popular in the 14th to the 18th centuries as cattle drovers. They became Kennel Club registered in 1928 and accepted by the American Kennel Club in 1936. The Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis were recognised as separate breeds in the UK in 1934.

The Welsh Corgi (Pembroke Corgi) is an intelligent dog that loves a challenge. They are not too difficult to train but they can be try to be dominant if given the chance. As puppies they do require to be properly socialised and trained.

The head should appear fox like, and be flat and wide between the ears. The muzzle should taper and the jaw is strong with a complete scissor bite. The eyes should be of medium size, round and brown in colour. Their ears should be erect and slightly pointed at the tip. The neck should be fairly long. The chest should be deep and broad and the topline level. The front legs should appear straight and short; the back legs should also be straight and short. The feet should be oval with well-arched, close together toes. The two centre toes should be slightly longer than the outer two. Their movement should be free and active with the front legs moving well forward. The tail should be short. The coat should be of medium length, straight and have a dense undercoat. The preferred colours for the show ring are red, sable, fawn and black and tan.

This Welsh Corgi (Pembroke Corgi) requires an adequate amount of exercise, even though they only have short legs, and likes to be kept active; however they are fairly adaptable exercise wise and will fit in with family life. This dog still has the herding instincts of its ancestors, and as such likes constant activity in its life. They do have a tendency to nip heels if they feel that the family members are too rowdy in their play. It has to be noted that they are prone to back and joint problems so they must be watched when there is a lot of stair climbing involved in any of their activities.
