History: The Pembroke Welsh Corgi originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales as early as the 1100s. They were an asset to farmers, specializing in herding cattle and sheep. Some believe that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi descended from Swedish cattle dogs dogs that the Vikings brought to Britain during the 9th and 10th centuries. Others think that the breed's ancestors may be dogs that were brought to Wales by Flemish weavers during the 12th century. Either way, it wasn't until the 1920s that the Corgi was recognized as a purebred dog. However, the Pembroke and the Cardigan Corgi were still treated as one breed. The two were divided into separate breeds in 1934, and the American Kennel Club (AKC) registered its first Pembroke Welsh Corgi in the same year.

Temperament: The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an affectionate, smart, and charming breed with a strong work ethic. These dogs love having a job to do in order to keep themselves busy and out of trouble, so don't be afraid to put them to work! Pembrokes do well with children, but tend to be reserved around strangers and other dogs, so they make good watchdogs. They love to please their owners and are easy to train, but are independent and like to think for themselves. So, it's important to set firm rules for a Pembroke and establish clear boundaries early on. When properly trained and socialized, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi makes a wonderful family pet and companion.
