Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Pembrokeshire farmers used this corgi to drive cattle by nipping at their hocks, and its short legs keep it low enough for a kick to pass over its head. The small body hides a big-dog attitude and plenty of stamina. Pet Pembrokes are known for nipping heels and barking at anything that moves, so channel that early with training and games. Keep the weight down to protect that long back, and ask about degenerative myelopathy, a spinal disease the breed carries and can be DNA tested for.
