Standard Welsh Corgi Pembroke Puppies for sale in Lynchburg, Virginia

The main difference between a Welsh corgi and a Pembroke corgi is their origins. The Welsh corgi is a breed that includes both the Pembroke and Cardigan varieties, while the Pembroke corgi is a specific type of corgi that originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Additionally, Pembroke corgis typically have a shorter tail compared to Welsh corgis.

Corgis can be considered moderately high maintenance dogs. They require regular exercise, mental stimulation, and have a double coat that sheds heavily, especially during shedding season, which requires regular grooming. However, they are also known for their adaptability and are generally easy to train.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and playful nature, making them a great family pet. They are also relatively small, which can be advantageous for apartment living. However, they are prone to certain health issues like hip dysplasia and obesity, and their high energy levels require regular exercise. Also, their heavy shedding might not suit people with allergies or those who prefer a tidier home.

Corgis are expensive because they are a popular breed due to their unique and adorable appearance. They are also relatively rare compared to other breeds. Additionally, the costs of breeding, raising, vaccinating, feeding and taking care of the health of a corgi until it is sold also contribute to its high price.
