Pembroke Welsh Corgi: Behavior, Care, and Characteristics

The Welsh Corgi Pembroke is a robust, affectionate and intelligent dog

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small to medium-sized dog, highly popular for its adorable appearance and intelligence. Originating from Wales, it is one of the two Corgi varieties (the other being the Welsh Corgi Cardigan) and is known for its loyalty to its family. Although primarily a companion dog today, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi was originally used as a herding dog.

Physical Description of the Dog

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi stands between 25 and 30 cm at the withers and weighs between 10 and 14 kg. It has a long body with short legs, giving it a unique appearance. Unlike the Cardigan, the Pembroke typically has a short tail. Its ears are erect, and it has a lively, expressive gaze.

Coat Variety

The Pembroke has a double coat: a dense undercoat and a harder outer coat that protects it from the elements. Coat colors range from red, sable, fawn, or black and tan, often with white markings on the chest, legs, and muzzle.

Size and Weight Standard

This compact dog measures between 25 and 30 cm at the withers and weighs between 10 and 14 kg. It is small enough to adapt to apartment living but requires regular exercise to stay healthy.

Temperament and Character of the Dog

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is known for its affectionate, loyal, and playful nature. It is a very social dog that loves to be the center of attention. Intelligent, it is easy to train, but it can also be stubborn. It has a strong protective instinct and may be wary of strangers.

Canine Health

The Pembroke is generally healthy, but like all breeds, it can be prone to certain hereditary health issues, including back problems due to its long body. A balanced diet and regular exercise are essential to keeping it in good shape. Its life expectancy is around 12 to 15 years.

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Queen of England: A Royal Story

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi gained worldwide fame due to its close association with Queen Elizabeth II. This royal love for the iconic breed dates back to the Queen's childhood. In 1933, King George VI, then Duke of York, gifted his daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, a Corgi named Dookie. This marked the beginning of a long history between the British royal family and this Welsh breed.

Although Queen Elizabeth II stopped breeding Corgis after the death of Willow in 2018, their legacy endures. The Queen's Corgis symbolize an important part of the modern history of the British monarchy and remain a reference for enthusiasts of this exceptional breed.
