CLEAR ALLPembroke Welsh Corgis, also known as Pembrokes, PWCs, or Pems, are recognised as the smallest of the American Kennel Club's Herding Group. They were originally bred to herd cattle, sheep, and horses in the Pembrokeshire area of Wales, United Kingdom.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are energetic, intelligent, and easy to train. These dogs are always willing and keen to please their owners. Unlike their cousins, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Pembroke Welsh Corgi dogs are very outgoing and social. So, they are generally great with kids and other pets.
The Pembroke is adaptable and affectionate. They can fit into any household or lifestyle, whether it is a big house in the country or an apartment in the city. Just make sure to provide daily exercise because these dogs have a lot of stamina and energy despite their small size. You will even be surprised at how quickly these short-legged dogs can move. Overall, the Pembroke is a great choice for families and first-time dog owners.
These adorable dogs are known for their intelligence and determination. Pembroke dogs are comical and active, and want to be involved in every action happening in the household. They are definitely big personalities wrapped in small packages!

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the smallest herding dog of the American Kennel Club's Herding Group. They stand 25 to 30 inches tall and weigh 11 to 14 kg, making them noticeably shorter than their cousins, the Cardis.
They have a long, robust body structure held low to the ground with very short yet muscular legs. They have a fox-like head, which is flat between their rounded, naturally erect ears. In addition, they have strong jaws, muzzles that taper down to their black noses, and round, medium-sized eyes, which are usually dark in colour.
Pembrokes have straight, medium-length double coats consisting of a dense undercoat and rough top coat. Their coat is naturally water and dirt-repellent, designed for working out in the fields in all weathers. However, as they shed heavily, they need regular brushing.
The breed has four standard colours: black and tan, fawn, red, or sable; not as many shade options as their cousins, the Cardis. Whichever of the four coat colours a Pem has, they will have white markings on their legs, brisket, and neck.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are known to be social butterflies, one reason why they have become such popular family pets. They are energetic, animated, and playful and want to be involved in everything their humans do.
Unlike Cardigan Welsh Corgis, Pems are very friendly towards new people. They bark when someone is at the door, but as soon as they realise they are not a threat, they will start trying to make friends with them immediately.
As working dogs, they also have a natural eagerness to please, so they are always on the lookout for ways they can "assist" their owners. However, this breed can quickly get bored if they don't have enough things to do. Thus, they require regular and diverse mental and physical stimulation, such as games, walks, and interactive toys.
While their lively nature is cute and funny, their enthusiasm can sometimes get too much. Because of this, you should begin training a Pem as a young puppy as this will help to redirect their high energy and over-excitement to something productive.
Pems are also highly intelligent and learn things very quickly. However, they can sometimes be willful and stubborn, which is another reason why it is essential to start training them from an early age. Moreover, because they love to play, Pems enjoy when their owners incorporate games into their training and will be more likely to respond when you do so.
As highly social dogs, these pups don't do well if left alone for long. They will quickly get separation anxiety, leading to destructive behaviour. Thus, they are not suited to people who are not home often or who work long hours.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis adore being around children and will play with them for hours. Moreover, because of their small size, you won't have to worry about a Pem accidentally knocking over or squashing a small child.
However, if you're considering bringing a Pembroke into a home with children, remember that these dogs have herding instincts. Without training, they may try to herd children and nip at their feet, so start teaching them what is right or wrong straight away.
Welsh Corgis can be territorial towards other canines. This doesn't mean they can't have a furry friend, but it is best to introduce them as a puppy rather than as an adult.

We love happy endings. Discover stories of pets who found their beloved family with the help of The Pedigree Paws <3.
Neo
Russian Blue
We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

From the kittens's selection to the arrival of our Chartreux kitten, The Pedigree Paws was there to assist us.

Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
