Pembroke Welsh Corgi - The dog of Queens

If a dog is good enough for the Queen of Great Britain, then it really must be something special.  And fans of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi would certainly agree with Her Majesty.  Extremely smart, they were originally bred as herding dogs.  Whilst they are generally happy little dogs, well-known for their loving and loyal nature, then also have a stubborn and independent streak.  However, to fans of the Corgi, this only serves to make them even more endearing.  They can be on the possessive side, which in some cases can lead to snappiness and some aggression.  They can be wary of strangers and will surely sound of their barking alarm if they sense that their home and family are threatened. The Pembroke Welsh Corgis can make a good family pet choice and, with the right care and training, get on well with children. However, since they have been bred as cattle dogs, they can be prone to nipping people's ankles. Like every other dog, the Pembroke needs early socialization. Exposure to different people, sounds, and situations from an early age will help your Pembroke puppy grow up to be a well-rounded dog.
