That’s right, people! Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies aren’t just for the Queen, and that big Corgi personality fits in anywhere!
Pembroke Welsh corgis are immediately identifiable by their short stature, prick ears and foxy face (with or without a queen included!). This quirky little breed originally hails from Wales, like their name implies, and they were herding dogs for farmers. With their fierce intelligence, eagerness to please and short little bodies, they made the ideal farm hand. While many people credit the Queen of England with bringing the Corgi into the mainstream, the breed does a great job of stealing people’s hearts as a beloved family pet. Have you seen the Corgi, but aren’t sure if one might be right for your family? Read on for fun facts about the Corgi personality and the characteristics of Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies!
While their names come from the Celtic language, meaning of “dwarf dog”, the Corgi makes up for it with fighting spirit:
- The Corgi personality combines quick intelligence and a forceful will. They are active, animated dogs and never want to miss out on the action. In their own minds, they are big dogs in small bodies.
- Corgis have weatherproof double coats that are short and smooth to the body. The color ranges from a rich red or fawn to black or sable with white markings. The blacks usually have white and tan to make them technically tricolored in appearance.
- Because of their herding background, Corgis are a hearty, energetic breed. They require daily exercise and playtime to keep them happy and entertained.
- They typically weigh around 22 to 28 lbs and have an average lifespan of 10 to 12 years.
- Most Corgis are fine with other pets and children if they grow up with them. Beware that they will sometimes chase the heels of small running children because of their herding instincts!
- They need a firm and patient hand with training, because they can be willful. But we find treats help with any kind of puppy training!
