Average weight
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small dog that was developed in Wales in the 1100s. Its characteristic features are its short legs, perky ears, and docked tail. Their average weight ranges from twenty to thirty pounds, though this can vary considerably depending on the breed, average height, and age. A Pembroke’s typical size is 10 to 12 inches from shoulder to tail, and it is under thirty pounds in weight.
Tail docking
It’s common for Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies to have their tails docked so that they can meet breed standards. However, the origin of tail docking is unclear. It’s common for corgis to have their tails castrated as puppies are born, and the practice is common among all corgis. The AKC has not been averse to docking tails.

The activity level of a Pembroke Welsh Cross is moderate to high. They do shed coats seasonally, but do not drool or poop. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are sociable, happy dogs. They enjoy cuddling with their owners and interacting with other dogs. They are not shy and will happily greet strangers when they come to visit.
Exercise
Your Pembroke Welsh Corgi should get an hour of daily exercise, or more if your home is large. This energetic dog needs mental and physical stimulation to thrive. As a loyal watchdog, Corgis need plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. To help with their development, these energetic little dogs make great jogging companions. To start, introduce your puppy to walking and jogging. Short walks are a good way to introduce them to the benefits of physical activity, and you can gradually increase your dog’s walks and workouts as he grows.
Grooming
Performing daily brushing and comb-outs will help maintain the healthy appearance of your Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The dog’s medium-length coat is both water-resistant and soft. Unlike other breeds, pembroke Welsh Corgis do not require a bath every single week. Regular brushing will keep the fur from matting and tangles.
