Breed errors exist; some of which may recognize genetic health conditions such as Corgis's "fluffies" with very long coats, and "bluies," which have a watery color (red coats present with bluish casts).
Some Pembroke Welsh Corgis are born with their tail naturally short or missing. Others may have their tails transported between 2-5 days due to historical tradition or as a measure of conformation with Breed Standard. Artificial docking was born due to the need to remember the function of Pembroke as a shepherd dog in England. According to the Tax Law, any companion dog is considered a luxury and pet owners/companions are taxed. Dog owners, however, who keep dogs for work purposes such as grazing are exempt from taxes. To claim the release, the owner must make sure the dogs are docked or swinging. The Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, and FCI allow the whole tail in the Conformation event.

Most Pembrokes will seek the attention of everyone they meet and behave well around children and other pets. It is important to socialize this type with other animals, adults and children when they are very young to avoid anti-social behavior or aggression in the future. Because their instinct leads them, they like to pursue whatever moves, so it's best to keep them inside the fenced area. Herding instinct will also cause some young Pembrokes to bite their owner's ankles.

Health
Pembrokes has an average life expectancy of 12-15 years. The Welsh Corgis Pembroke is achondroplastic, which means they are a true "dwarf ork" breed. Thus, their stature and build can cause certain health conditions that are not inherited, but genetic issues should also be considered. Generally, Pembrokes may suffer from monorchidism, Von Willebrand's disease, hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy (DM), and inherited eye problems such as progressive retinal atrophy. Genetic tests are available for Pembroke Welsh Corgis to avoid these problems and improve genetic health. Pembrokes is also vulnerable to obesity because of its strong appetite, characteristic of the sheep breeds.
History
The Wrosh Corps of Pembroke Welsh line has been traced back to 1107 AD. It is said that Viking and Flemish weavers bring dogs with them while they travel to live in Wales. As far back as the 10th century, the corgis herded sheep, geese, ducks, horses, and cattle as one of the oldest sheepdogs.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis is closely related to Schipperkes, Keeshonds, Pomeranians, Samoyeds, Chow Chows, Norwegian Elkhounds, and Finnish Spitz. Pembrokes and Cardigans first appeared together in 1925 when they were shown under the rules of The Kennel Club in England. Corgi Club was founded in December 1925 in Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire. It was reported that local members liked the Pembroke breeding, so the club for Cardigan fans was founded about a year later. Both groups have worked hard to ensure the appearance and type of breeds are standardized through selective breeding carefully. Pembrokes and Cardigans were officially recognized by the Kennel Club in 1928 and were originally categorized together under one title from Welsh Corgis, before two breeds were recognized separately and differently in 1934.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis is becoming more popular in the United States and is ranked 20th (24th) in American Kennel Club registration, by 2015 (2012). However, corgis is now listed as a "vulnerable breed" in the UK; The decline has been said for the 2007 ban on tail-docking in Britain, as well as the lack of breeders in the UK.
