Longer, lighter, and lower to the ground than other Corgi breeds, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is one of the most recognizable dogs in the world thanks to a long association with Queen Elizabeth II, one of the breed’s greatest champions. They weren’t always associated with royalty, though: their medium-length and straight coat has a weather-proof undercoat that allows them to withstand harsh conditions and speaks to their history as herding dogs. Don’t let their adorable faces and little legs fool you—they’re surprisingly quick, agile, and built for a hard day's work.
