Is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi right for you?

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small breed from the Herding group, originally from Wales. It typically weighs 24–30 lb and lives 12–13 years. Known for being smart, alert, affectionate, it has moderate energy and high shedding, and generally does well with families, active owners.

Match the breed's energy to your lifestyle: a moderate-energy dog needs an owner who can meet that activity level. Factor in grooming for the shedding level, budget for food and veterinary care, and always meet a dog in person before committing.

Figures are typical breed-standard ranges; individual dogs vary. Not a substitute for advice from a breeder, shelter, or veterinarian.
