and fine watchdogs. The coat

short, soft, and closed like fur. The usual colors are sable, black, and 
blue merle marked with white and tan. The height should be be' 
tween 12 and 15 inches, 13J/2 inches being the ideal. 
WELSH CORGI (PEMBROKE) —The Pembroke was used as a work 
dog to drive cattle out to grase, and as a watchdog. His ancestors 
were introduced into Wales by Flemish weavers about the year 1107. 
In contrast to the Cardigan va' 
riety of Corgi, the Pembroke has 
a short tail, and his coat is of a 
finer texture. His head is like that 
of a fox, and wide between the 
ears. This dog may be of any 
color other than pure white, 
should not exceed 12 inches in 
height and should weigh from 18 
to 24 pounds.
