Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies for sale in Ontario

Breed history

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small herding dog that has become one of the most popular and recognizable breeds worldwide. Originating in Wales, United Kingdom, around the 10th century, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is believed to have descended from dogs brought by Flemish weavers who settled in Wales. These early dogs were likely crossbred with local Welsh dogs, resulting in a robust, hardworking herder. Corgis were originally used for herding cattle and driving livestock due to their low stature and quick agility. They have been the favored companions of Welsh royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II, who has owned several throughout her reign. Today, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi remains a beloved companion and show dog, known for its playful, affectionate, and intelligent nature.
