Description : Pembroke Welsh Corgis are obedient and good house dogs with affectionate natures. Corgis are, as a rule, intelligent, alert and wary of strangers, making them very good watchdogs. Though known for their bark being worse than their bite, they do have a tendency to nip at the heels of people and should be trained as a puppy to eliminate that trait. Pembrokes require companionship and without it may develop undesirable methods of seeking attention.
