The Pembroke Welsh Corgi was bred in Wales to herd cattle by nipping at their heels while staying low enough to avoid kicks.
Corgis are smart, alert, and affectionate, with short legs, big ears, and foxy faces.
Care Tips
Corgis need daily exercise and training. They shed heavily, so brush often, and watch their weight.
Fun Fact
Queen Elizabeth II owned more than 30 Corgis during her reign.
Is This Breed Right for You?
Before bringing home any dog, think about your space, schedule, budget, and activity level. Meet the dog in person, ask about energy and grooming needs, and consider an adult dog whose personality is already known. Ohio shelters and breed rescues often have purebred dogs and loving mixes waiting for homes.
Health and Training
Schedule a veterinary checkup soon after adoption, keep vaccines and parasite prevention current, and ask about health screenings common to the breed. Positive reinforcement training and early socialization help every dog become a confident, well mannered companion.
