🇬🇧 About the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a cattle herding dog breed that originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is one of two breeds known as Welsh Corgis, the other being the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The Pembroke is the younger of the two breeds, and is known for its friendly, intelligent, and energetic nature.

Corgis have become increasingly popular worldwide, partly due to their association with Queen Elizabeth II, who owned more than 30 Pembroke Welsh Corgis during her reign. These dogs are beloved for their fox-like appearance, expressive faces, and loyal temperament.
