Cardigan Welsh Corgi. A multi-purpose breed, the Pembroke's many
duties included that of a bird hunter, duck and geese herder, and
sheep and cattle herder. They are the smallest member of the Herding
group, and are well known as the favored breed and pet of Queen
Elizabeth II.The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is obedient, loving, loyal, and
deeply devoted. They are outgoing, friendly, and thrive on human
companionship and attention. This breed is alert, fearless, and
assertive. They make an excellent guard dog, but their tenacity can
sometimes lead them into trouble. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is best
suited for a family with older and considerate children. If they are
left alone for extended periods of time they will become restless and
bored which will lead to destructiveness and excessive barking. They
are often wary of strangers and over-protective of their family and
territory. Due to their herding nature, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi will
attempt to perform this task on anything and everything that moves.
This breed typically does well with other pets.
