About the Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Pembroke Welsh Corgis pack herding-dog brains into a short-legged frame and usually come with plenty of opinions. They fit people who want a smallish dog that is smart, lively, and still very much not just a couch accessory.
The Good
- Highly trainable and quick on patterns
- Compact size with surprising sturdiness
- Affectionate and alert without being fragile
The Bad
- Heavy shedding is common
- Can be vocal
- Needs more exercise and engagement than their size suggests
