Chris is a very gentle little boy. He needs a gentle home where he can feel happy and safe.
**How much do you know about Corgis? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Cardigan and the Pembroke Welsh Corgis have been considered separate breeds for only about 70 years (Cardigans have a long tail; Pembrokes don't have a tail). There are several theories about the origins of the Welsh Corgi. Both Corgis varieties may be descended form Swedish Vallhunds brought to Wales by Vikings in the 800's. Or perhaps the Cardigan is the older variety, brought to Wales by the Celts in about 1200 BC. The name "Corgi" comes from the Celtic word for dog. The breed was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086). The Corgi drove cattle by barking and nipping at the cattle's heals. His low stature helped him role out of the way when a cow kicked. Corgis still maintain that habit when chasing each other. Corgi is highly intelligent, obedient, protective and robust. Steady, loyal and loving, but wary of strangers. They are willing to please. Several of these brave dogs have lost their lives defending their homes, as they were too small for the situation. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi is well-known as the favorite breed and pet of Queen Elizabeth II. Because of royal favor, and perhaps because of a slightly gentler personality, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi has become very popular, while the Cardigan is not as widespread. They have a life-expectancy of 12-15 years.
