With long bodies and short legs, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi has the nickname “dwarf dog” for a reason. They may be small, but the Pembroke has personality for days. These dogs like being in charge, keeping an eye on the house, and most of all, having fun. Full-grown, they typically weigh 24-30 pounds and stand 10-12 inches tall.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are good with kids as long as they’re respected. Pembrokes also can get along well with cats and other pets if they’re socialized at a young age, but they’re not usually fond of other dogs and may be domineering over nearby Corgis. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.

This breed has endless energy and needs more exercise than their size may indicate. Pembroke Welsh Corgis enjoy long walks, running around the yard, agility training, and playing catch with Frisbees. They shouldn’t be allowed to jump too high because it’s not safe for their long back and short legs. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis have a long, thick, water-resistant outer coat of hard, straight hair and a short undercoat. They can be red, sable, fawn, or black and tan, all with white markings on the legs, chest, muzzle, or blaze (vertical line between the eyes). Pembrokes also may have a “fairy saddle” of hair on their shoulders pointing in a different direction than the rest of the coat. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Pembrokes are small enough for apartment life, but they enjoy homes with spacious yards too. They like being outdoors, but they prefer to split their time between life inside with the family and playtime in the yard. They are fairly easy to train.

The Frenchton is a designer hybrid breed consisting of French Bulldog and Boston Terrier. The breed originated in recent years in the United States. The purpose behind creating the Frenchton was to attempt to breed out some of the health risks associated with the French Bulldog.

The Frenchton can currently be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, International Designer Canine Registry and the Designer Breed Registery. Full-grown, they typically weigh 15-25 pounds and stand 11-14 inches tall.
