Pembroke Welsh Corgi

She was the law to Angela Kelly and Queen Elizabeth, the law.

Queen Elizabeth, speaking of the law, I guess the Corgis probably ran the show sometimes just as much as Queen Elizabeth did.

How spoiled were these dogs and what was life like for them inside the palace? Because if I died and could come back, I would want to be one of the Queen's Corgis.

Yeah, I mean, they were totally spoilt, the corgis.

I mean, I don't know whether you're a dog lover, but the queen at any one time might have had something like up to eight or nine corgis, which was far too many, really.

Yes.

And then I immediately flashed back to the BBC interview where Harry and Meghan are announcing their engagement.

And Harry says that the Corgis love Meghan more than they've ever liked him.

It's got a lot of the characteristics, but it's smaller, and it's really fun, and it's kinda cute." And so you may go in there thinking one thing and walk out with a completely different idea of what's out there, what's available, how long it takes for wait time.

I've had several people contact me thinking that they were gonna get a Pembroke Welsh Corgi when I first started breeding the farm dogs, and I didn't have any Corgis at the time.

And I'd say, "Well, what about a Danish Swedish Farmdog?" And they go, "What's that?" So by the time they were done, they ended up taking one, maybe more than one in some of those cases.

And it's been really fun because even though they're not a herding breed, they're a working breed, they're still a small all-purpose little farm dog.

But here's where it gets a little elitist, I think.

"Only Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Cardigan Welsh Corgis, and American Corgis are allowed.

No other corgi mixes," and certainly no greyhounds.

Duh, greyhounds are, are very fast.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, rural British farmers began applying the suffix -er to denote any dog specialized in this heel-biting technique.

While people today mainly associate heelers with Australian cattle dogs, Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh corgis were among the earliest recognized heelers in the British Isles.

Their short limbs evolved because being low to the ground made it easier for them to both nip at heels and avoid getting kicked by bigger animals.

Time for your Daily High Five, our top five fun facts about corgis.

The Pembroke Welsh corgi placed 11th overall, showing an understanding of new commands in as few as 5 to 15 repetitions.

The breed also had an obedience success rate of 85% or higher on the first command.

The Cardigan Welsh corgis placed in the same top tier, ranking 26th among all evaluated breeds.

Their incredible working intelligence is often attributed to centuries of autonomous decision-making in the field.

Yeah.

[laughs] Uh, so Constance tells Marge that she'll get things in order and read to the children in two shakes of a Corgi's tail.

And Marge feels a sense of relief since Corgi's tails do shake rather quickly, so she tells the crowd that the beloved author will be there shortly.

And back in the mall prison, Miss Clevenger owns up to cocking it all up with her drinking, accidental shoplifting, and also accidental cocaine snorting.

Ah, I hate those accidental cocaine snortings that happen all the time, Steve.
