About the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a low-set, sturdy herding breed from Wales, developed to drive cattle by nipping at their heels and ducking under kicks. Its fox-like face, big ears, and short legs have made it one of the most recognizable and beloved breeds in the world. It suits active families who want a medium-sized dog with a big personality and are prepared for heavy shedding.

Temperament

Corgis are bold, outgoing, and clever, with a strong work ethic and a tendency to think for themselves. They are affectionate with their families and typically good with children, though their herding instinct can lead to nipping at heels if not trained early. They are alert watchdogs and can be vocal. They are highly trainable and excel at obedience, agility, and herding trials.

Size and Weight

The AKC standard calls for a height of 10 to 12 inches at the shoulder and a weight of up to 30 lbs for males and up to 28 lbs for females. The body is long and low with a natural bobtail or docked tail, distinguishing it from the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, which has a full tail.

Grooming

The Corgi has a thick, weather-resistant double coat that sheds heavily year-round and profusely in spring and fall. Brushing several times a week is needed to control loose hair. Corgis are not hypoallergenic. Nails should be trimmed regularly and ears cleaned routinely.

Health

Pembroke Welsh Corgis can inherit hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, progressive retinal atrophy, von Willebrand's disease, and epilepsy. Their long back makes them prone to intervertebral disc disease, so lean weight and avoiding jumping from heights matter. They gain weight easily. Recommended parent testing includes hip clearances, eye clearances, and DNA screening for degenerative myelopathy, PRA, and von Willebrand's.

Exercise and Living Space

Corgis are active dogs that need 45 to 60 minutes of daily exercise and mental engagement. They adapt to apartments if well exercised but do best with a yard. Stairs and jumping should be managed to protect the back. They should live indoors with the family.

Lifespan

Typical lifespan is 12 to 13 years. Weight control and back protection are the most important habits for a long, mobile life.
