Description: Long, low and sturdily built, Pembroke Welsh Corgis were developed in Wales as livestock dogs and family companions. They continue today to be willing workers and excellent companions in city and country alike. Their ancestry dates back to at least the tenth century in Wales. A true dwarf breed, the Pembroke Corgi is a breed of the Spitz group - recognized by a sharply-pointed muzzle and foxy face, erect and pointed ears, and a high tail set. The Pembroke's brave, steady temperament, physical agility and easily-kept, compact size are paramount characteristics of the breed.
