Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Appearance: Famous for their long bodies, short legs, and large 'fox-like' ears, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small dog with a big presence. They have a thick, weather-resistant coat and a tail that is usually docked or naturally short. Their most famous feature, however, might be their 'corgi butt,' which has gained internet fame for its fluffiness and wiggle.

Traits & Characteristics: Don't let the short legs fool you—these are athletic herding dogs. They are smart, alert, and occasionally bossy, often trying to 'herd' children or other pets. They are affectionate and loyal, with a great sense of humor and a tendency to be quite vocal about their opinions on everything.

Origins: Wales, where they were used for herding cattle and became the favorite breed of Queen Elizabeth II.
