Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is one of two breeds of affectionate dogs developed in Wales for herding animals. The name "corgi" may mean "dwarf dog" in Welsh. These dogs are known for their short legs, long bodies, and foxy heads with erect ears.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are descended from dogs brought to Wales between the 10th and 12th centuries. They are typically red, sable, or fawn, or black and tan, often with white markings. Pembrokes have pointed ears and a very short tail, which is frequently docked. They are known for being eager to please, easy to train, and agile, excelling in dog sports like agility and obedience. While generally amiable and playful, they can sometimes nip at heels in an attempt to herd, and they tend to bark when excited.12
