Portraits of Pembroke Welsh Corgis

Pembroke Welsh Corgis were bred in Wales to herd cattle, nipping at heels while staying low enough to dodge the kicks. They're quick, bossy, funny and loyal, and they rank No. 16 on the AKC's 2025 list. Queen Elizabeth II famously kept Pembrokes for most of her long life, which made the breed famous far beyond Wales.

In a portrait, a Corgi's face is pure charm: the big, upright, fox-like ears, the bright eyes, the white blaze and that famous open-mouthed smile. Red, sable, fawn and black-and-tan coats with white markings each bring their own warmth. Because Corgis are so cheerful, they shine in whimsical and playful styles, and those ears give bold graphic styles a terrific silhouette to work with.

Photo tips for your Corgi

  1. 01Ears are everything

    Make a funny noise right before you shoot. Both ears up and forward is classic Corgi.
  2. 02Get low

    They're short. Lie on the floor so you're looking straight into their face.
  3. 03Catch the smile

    Corgis often 'smile' with an open mouth after play. Take a burst of photos right after a game of fetch.
