All Dog Breeds >>Appearance of Cardigan Welsh Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a true dwarf (achondroplastic) breed making it proportionally built the same as larger dogs, but with shorter, more refined legs. This Corgi a low-built, sturdy dog whose upright ears give it a very expressive fox-like appearance. Pembrokes are usually between 10 to 12" tall from the ground to the highest point on their withers. Tails are often short or absent, some naturally, others due to docking. Despite its size the Pembroke has a sturdy, confident and athletic build that has given it the loving nickname of a "big dog trapped in a small dog's body." Like most herding breeds, Pembrokes are active, intelligent and athletic dogs. As working dogs, Pembrokes were originally used to herd sheep, horses and cattle, a task they accomplished by "nipping" at their heels, their short legs helping kicks pass safely over their heads.
