Labradoodle versus Pembroke Welsh Corgi: Overview
A very important difference between the Labradoodle and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Labradoodle is a large-sized dog while the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Labradoodle belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.
On the other hand, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
