Pembroke Welsh Corgi versus Afador: Overview
A very important difference between the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Afador is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small-sized dog while the Afador is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer.

They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
