Pembroke Welsh Corgi versus Cockalier: Overview
Both the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cockalier are similar in size. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cockalier are both small-sized dogs.
Furthermore, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer.
