Pembroke Welsh CorgiThis breed originated in Pembrokeshire in Wales, where it was used primarily for herding cattle, sheep and the herds of small ponies which ran wild through the Welsh hills.

Since 1933, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi has gained international fame through royal patronage. Today, the best known members of the breed are still to be found at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the other Royal residences.

The Pembroke is the better known and more popular of the two Corgi breeds. He is slightly smaller, with a somewhat sharper head and smaller ears than the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and of course, he is usually tail-less.

Hardy, intelligent and easy to groom, the Pembroke Corgi is a friendly little dog who enjoys playing with children and is great fun to have either in the house or on country walks. Always alert and with a strongly developed sense of territory, he makes a good watchdog.
