A Sable Corgi Knight Stands Ready in Polished Silver Armor

Sir Rhys of Pembroke stands in gleaming silver armor with a green mantle trimmed in gold falling across his shoulders. The sable Corgi has big upright ears, a tan and brown face with an alert gaze, and a calm, noble tilt of the head that seems to say that he is ready for any quest. The breastplate is polished and carved with delicate patterns, and the mantle is lined with red. A dark, mossy background adds to the old-world mood, and fine cracks cover the painted surface like the patina on an old suit of armor.

Corgis, especially the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, were bred in Wales to herd cattle by nipping at their heels, which explains both their quickness and their boldness. They are smart, active and loyal, with a famously fox-like face and a lively expression. Their short legs and long backs mean they should be kept at a healthy weight, and jumping from heights should be limited to protect their spines. Corgis shed quite a bit and need regular brushing, especially in spring and fall. They also enjoy having a job to do, such as learning tricks, playing games or going on a walk, and they can be talkative. Talk to your vet about diet and exercise, since they are always happy to eat. A Corgi knight is bold and cheerful.

Sir Rhys is ready to defend the castle and the snack drawer. His loyalty is the finest armor of all.
