Origin and history of the Pembroke welsh corgi
Records of these charming little dogs date back to the year 920. It is believed that they were brought to Wales by Flemish weavers and that during the 14th and 18th centuries they were used to carry livestock to market. The Pembroke line was created for grazing in the Pembrokeshire region.
They were used as working dogs for a long time due to their skills and aptitudes as a herding, guard and hunting dog. Unlike the Cardigan, the Pembroke gained popularity thanks to the favoritism of the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, for these little ones.
The breed was recognized by the Kennel Club in 1928, but it was not until 1934 that the two were separated and the Pembroke was recognized as a breed in its own right.

Character ofthe Pembroke welsh corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is known for being very fun and attentive to everything that is happening around him. They thrive in a family environment especially where the children are a little older. They are not the best choice for families with small children as they are known for pinching people's heels, a trait that is deeply ingrained from having been used to drive livestock. That is why they must be socialized from an early age and be consistent and fair throughout the dog's life.
Due to their origin as a herding dog, they have a great guardian and protective instinct for the family they live with. They are always ready to tell their owner when strangers are nearby or when something they don't like happens. They can be a little wary of strangers, preferring to keep their distance until they gain confidence.
They are very intelligent and need a lot of physical exercise and mental stimulation, although once they have had a good workout, they are happy to relax with their owner. They have enormous endurance and love to go outdoors, making them ideal for people who live in the countryside or who lead an active outdoor life and who enjoy having a canine companion by their side.
