Summary

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is one of the most recognizable dog breeds in the world. It herded cattle on Welsh farms for nearly a thousand years. Then it caught a Royal eye and everything changed. In this episode, Coach Francis traces the Pembroke from the Flemish weavers of 12th-century Wales through Buckingham Palace, through the Instagram era, and into the veterinary clinic where one of the most serious neurological conditions in any breed is quietly running through the majority of the population. The Corgi's fame has a cost. Almost nobody talks about it.
