The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is always a story about the legislation and adaptation. The Romans classified by the use of dogs. In the 10th century, the Dogs only allowed to the peasants were small dogs for pest control. Shepherds were allowed to keep their dogs, but they have been mutilated, but the sheepdogs have benefited from a tail cut off and allowed them to work. Later taxes were charged on dogs, except for those with tails docked - the Pembroke was a natural bob-tail that has been a feature of early selection.
The absence of a tail that separates Cardigan Welsh Corgi in and both have been maintained as distinct races since the mid 19th century. Welsh Corgi Pembroke has been recognized as a breed kept by Queen Elizabeth II.
Thus, the corgi dog was a dual use - farming and pest control. It is a race that is weak, but strong. They should have enough bone for strength, but not rude. They are fat, intelligent dogs without any shyness. The ears are erect ears and squat more pointed than the Cardigan.
For the standard, they are 10-12 inches and less than 30 pounds for dogs. They have a medium length coat which is resistant to weathering. They are seasonal shedders with an undercoat, which can vary their appearance. Regular brushing keeps the dog a good coat and when they lose their undercoat heavy it will be a lot of hair for lining bird nests or composting! Apart from this fall, they require little grooming.

Males can be aggressive with other dogs.
They need regular exercise, including walks and play. They often duck and roll in the game and avoid shots livestock. Some can be very possessive with toys and other treasures, including children.
The long body may have problems sometimes with the old numbers. They are heavier than other muscular breeds more durable, but should not be allowed to play on the stairs. Regular exercise is good, but they do not show too much.
There are some genetic problems that occur in the breed and should be tested prior to reproduction. Among them are hip dysplasia, eye problems, cancers and system problems, autoimmune infertility in men and uterine inertia during parturition. Other issues that may affect the race are the hot spots, epilepsy, glaucoma, corneal ulceration, lens luxation and progressive retinal atrophy. Reproductive health is important, because usually they are a healthy breed.
They are affectionate dogs, but allow people to come to them. They are very intelligent and recyclable. They are energetic, but is rented heavy to do the right thing rather than correctness heavy to keep them motivated. They are sensitive and want to please are therefore eager to repeat things that can be rented.
The food can be a problem - especially the amount thereof. Keep them in good condition without being too thin or too heavy. You should be able to feel but not see ribs and a good Laye.
