Breed Standard The Pembroke has a foxy, intelligent face with bright, merry eyes and a frequently smiling muzzle. The ears are erect, with their points forming an equilateral triangle with the nose. The body is relatively long (40% longer than its height at the shoulders), with short legs and little or no tail. Colors are red, sable, fawn or tri-color (red-headed or black-headed). White collars are acceptable, as are white feet and legs, chest, underparts and limited white on the head. The coat is of medium length and of a double nature, with a thick undercoat covered by a topcoat. Also seen (but considered incorrect by Pembroke breeders) are coats which are too long (fluffies), wiry and kinky or overly short (also known as a flat coat). The Pembroke's weight should be in proportion to its height. Height from ground to the highest point of the shoulders should be 10 to 12 inches. Weight should be 27-30 pounds for a male and 25-28 pounds for a female. A correct Pembroke should not be so large-boned as to appear coarse nor to have not enough bone and appear racy. ![]() OFA Prelims Good, Elbows Normal - CERF Normal ![]()

The Fairy Saddle Legend Long, long ago in days of yore,it might’ve been sooner, if not before Along a mountain track there came A gallant Corgi of quite some fame And there beside the track he spied a maiden fair, Who to him cried, oh kindly Corgi, hear my plea;I’ve fallen from my horse you see and so before you further roam Would you please sir take me homeSo said the Corgi, “I do confess; how could I leave you in distress?” So climb upon may back fair maid I’ll take you home, as you have bade.” They journeyed there, and at her door she cried, “I should have said before,I’m a fairy princess sir, you see, and for your kindness to me I’ll leave upon your neck and back all traces of the Fairy Tack.” And till this day you still can find the Fairy’s Saddle to remind How the Corgi helped the Princess Fair And just as well for you will care RickEdneyCuttingHorses.com P.O.
