Pembroke Welsh Corgis are a herding breed.  They are short and athletic.  This comes in handy when they are herding livestock as they can duck out of the way of flying hooves.  It is also a benefit when they are lucky enough to be a treasured family member as they fit in smaller places.  In fact, a favorite sleeping site is under their master's bed.

Pembrokes, or Pemmies, have a docked tail and are seen in three color variations: the most common, red and white, as well as the black/red/white tri color and the sable (similar in color and marking to a German Shepard).  They have a double coat which they shed twice a year or "blow" their coat in the spring and late summer.  They require little grooming in between sheds. 

Our Pemmies are busy dogs.  They have 2 acres on which they can run and play, and boy, do they.  Their favorite game involves taking off in a team to run full tilt up the hill, scattering the chickens as they go, arguing about who is to be the leader.  They are very playful and some will chase a ball until they drop from exhaustion.

When raised around children they love nothing better than to accompany their kids on adventures.  They are easy to train and eager to please.  That doesn't mean they will always do as they are told as stubborness is a characteristic of the breed.  When a treat is offered as reward they will do just about anything.

The biggest problems with the breed are obesity (owner related) and barking inappropriately (I bark when I am bored too).  They are very bright and can get themselves into trouble when they are bored.  They aren't nearly as busy as Border Collies, though, and are much more willing to lay at your feet just to keep you company.  Hence their tendency to become obese.  They LOOOOOVE to eat and never seem to be satisfied.  Since they have a  dense coat and short legs it is easy to allow them to get too fat without realizing it. 

As breeders we are committed to maintaining the breed standard and breeding for the best pets possible.  We are not into the show scene although we love attending AKC shows to keep up with the trends in conformation. 

Our utmost priority is producing wonderful pets as we believe the Corgi can be the ideal family dog.  Their medium to small size makes them an easy addition to any living situation.  We are breeding for exceptional temperaments and good, sound bodies. 

We are unaware of any genetic problems in our line.  There are 9 of our Corgis in our extended families and all are exceptionally healthy.  In our 11 year history with our lines we have not heard of any major health or temperament issues. 

 Of course an ill treated or spoiled Corgi of any breeding can be a menace but when raised in a loving home with appropriate obedience training these dogs are a delight. 

 Corgis have to be strong willed to handle herding cattle  so anyone living with a Corgi must be a strong pack leader.  If not, your Corgi will take over and can be unforgiving of misbehavior.  This can lead to "behavior problems" from a human perspective.  From the dogs' perspective, they are acting completely appropriately to their situation.  We STRONGLY encourage and support new Corgi owners to take their dogs through several sessions of Obedience training with an experienced trainer emphasizing positive reinforcement.
