Pembroke Welsh Corgis are sturdy herding dogs in a low, compact package. They are often bright, alert, affectionate with their people, and more energetic than their short legs suggest. Corgis shed from a dense double coat and benefit from regular brushing. Since they can gain weight easily, food portions and treats need structure, and cost estimates should reflect the dog's real adult condition.
