Read the origins of dog breeds. Corgis can be called "Welsh" corgis. "Welsh" means "from Wales." Pembroke corgis have short legs, long bodies, and a fox-like head. They are tough, medium sized dogs. The coat benefits from regular brushing. It sheds twice a year. A corgi is a trainable dog who makes a good pet and a good watchdog. It has been common practice to cut off the tail, leaving just a stump. This is called, "docking." Moves are afoot to outlaw the practice. If you are buying a puppy, you can ask the breeder not to cut the puppy's tail off.
Colour: Red with white markings is common, but they can be black & tan, tricolour, or fawn, with or without white markings. Height 25 - 30 cms at shoulder. Class: herding
