Corgis were bred to herd cattle in Wales by nipping at their heels — that low body height was a feature, not a quirk. The modern Pembroke Welsh Corgi retains all the intelligence and energy of a working dog packaged in an apartment-friendly size.
They are remarkably trainable, excellent with children, and have surprisingly low grooming needs given their double coat. They do shed seasonally and benefit from a weekly brush.
Corgis love a daily walk and mental stimulation. They are talkative dogs — not quite barkers but very expressive — and they will tell you what they think of your day.
