Niijii the Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Name: Niijii (means "friend" in Ojibwe)
Nickname(s): Neej, Niijii Nub
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years old
D.O.B: January 26th, 2017
Niijii was adopted just shy of 8 weeks old. He was so playful and energetic and loved to nip and bite. He knows commands like sit and down but still working on other basics. He is very stubborn and headstrong and waaaay too smart for his own good but that is just corgis in general. His general routine is eat, nap, and play play play! His favorite toys are nylabones and ropes toys as well as the occasional squeaky toys. He tends to chew through any stuffed animals or soft toys so he has to get ones that keep him busy like bones and treats. Boy does he looooove treats!
Niijii is also a herding dog, which means he tends to nip at the childrens feet when they are running around the yard outside. Sometimes he can be a bit rough, occasionally leaving a mark here or there but it tends to happen with corgis. Still working on that. He loves to fetch though, toss a ball and he will chase it and bring it right back to you!
Though corgis and corgi puppies are cute beyond measure, they are not for everyone. Always do your research and get to know the background and facts about them before considering buying a puppy or adopting one from a shelter. If you want to know more about the Corgi, check out the AKC website for more information and background.

Will post some when I can get them uploaded :)
Facts of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a highly spirited and very athletic dog. His name actually means “dwarf dog” but don’t let that fool you. The cattle herding, steady and dependable Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an agile tank - a big dog on short legs.
Among the Pembroke Welsh Corgis’ talents are herding livestock, agility, taking commands and chasing (anything - quite quickly). He is full of energy and enthusiasm. To top it off, he’s super smart too.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgis are considered as one of the most adored dogs, especially in the United Kingdom. It was recognized by AKC in 1934. Today, people recognize the dog as a separate type of Cardiganshire Corgi, but both of them are cousins, actually.
A man named Clifford Hubbard said the Pembroke had its origin back in the 12th century. He believed the dog was part of the King of Wales' reign. Either way, modern people love the dog as it has a distinct appearance with a foxy face and sharp muzzle. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a close relation to the Buhund, Vallhund, and Schipperke.
Corgi: The Breed
Most people are able to differentiate Pembroke Welsh Corgis from Cardigans. The most notable difference is the tail. The Cardigan has a long tail while the Pembroke has a docked tail. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is also known as the Pem or PWC.
Corgis are the smallest of the AKC herding group. The lifespan of this breed is moderate, living up to 14 years. It is common to see them nipping and circling around to gather the other pets at home. The only potential problem that owners may have is the dog’s barking behavior. Proper training and socialization will go a long way at minimizing these behaviors.
WillowMae
Willow Mae is the top dog of the house though Niijii tends to battle her for it everyday. She tolerates him on a daily basis but they love to play and race around the yard together. Even though Willow is quite older than Niijii and is slowing down, she can still chase him and give him a run for his money. They both love to nap on the couch together but when it comes to treats and food, they like to keep their distance from each other.
