The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an excellent companion dog. His gentle and easy-to-care-for nature make him a perfect pet for folks of almost any age; his tough, sturdy build can take on lots of child's play as well. Corgis are remarkably "adaptable" dogs who seem to do as well with apartment living as they do out on the farm. They do need supervised play and should never be allowed to roam loose.
Corgis are loyal and affectionate but do not force themselves upon you. They can be subtly overbearing while being cute. They need guidance and loving discipline to develop their pleasant personality. The Corgi's alertness and protective instincts also make him an excellent guardian of the home.
Corgis has often been called "a big dog in a little package". The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an extremely intelligent animal who learns quickly and retains knowledge very well. Training (of you or the puppy) is always ongoing and must be done in a positive manner.
From a very early age, the Corgis' intense curiosity expresses itself, and this trait quickly becomes a valuable asset as it develops in the hunger to learn and especially to please his master. He needs to be given positive direction to channel his learning so that he becomes an asset to the canine community.
