Description

Welsh Corgie (Pembroke)

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is classified by the American Kennel Club as a member of the Herding Group. The breed's ancestors arrived in Wales perhaps as early as the ninth century and developed there as a farm dog, used primarily to herd cattle. Although the herding instinct remains, present day corgis have expanded their horizons and their purpose far beyond the Welsh farm and its cattle. Residing now around the globe, Corgis are active as companions, show dogs, obedience, tracking and agility dogs, therapy dogs and dogs for the hearing impaired, and, of course, herding dogs. Some have even been trained as gun dogs and for protection work.
