The Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a popular herding breed, is a compact and lively dog that combines agility with a big-dog attitude. Standing at 10 to 12 inches and weighing 27 to 30 pounds (for males), this breed is known for its short legs, muscular build, and deep chest, making it well-suited for herding tasks. Pembrokes come in various colors and are intelligent, sensitive, and vigilant watchdogs, best suited for active families seeking a loyal companion.
