Pembroke Welsh Corgi: Breed Highlights

• Pembrokes are vocal dogs that have a tendency to bark at anything and everything.
• While they are intelligent dogs, they also can be stubborn. If housebreaking is a problem, crate training is advised.
• Their strong herding instinct may cause them to nip at the heels of children when they are playing.
• Pembrokes are prone to overeating. Their food intake should be monitored closely.
• Even though they are small dogs, Pembrokes have a lot of energy and need a healthy amount of exercise each day.
• To get a healthy dog, never buy a puppy from an irresponsible breeder, puppy mill, or pet store. Look for a reputable breeder who tests her breeding dogs to make sure they're free of genetic diseases that they might pass onto the puppies, and that they have sound temperaments.
