It was also our 4 month old Blue Merle Corgi's first trip to the ocean. I have been taking her to the forest about a mile in the opposite direction from where we live for about a week or two but this was the first time to the ocean. It was really beautiful there. With my previous Pembroke Corgi I made a mistake when I tried to protect her from big waves coming onto shore. Back to about 2003 I think she was born and she wanted to run into the ocean all the time. I got tired of protecting her from the consequences of doing this into 3 foot waves and let her run into a 3 foot wave. This was a mistake. Natural consequences of doing this through her into shore and upside down more than once. I just wanted her to respect the ocean like I always have from almost dying in the ocean when I was 8 and got taken out on an inflatable raft and had to be rescued. So, I wanted her to have respect for the ocean so it didn't kill her one day because of her short legs. Anyway, this was a mistake on my part because she was terrified of the ocean ever after this. This wasn't what I wanted for her just respect for how overwhelming the ocean can be when you least expect it. Corgis are a dwarf big dog but they have a big dog personality which is why people love them so and also they are Sheep shepherds from Wales in England.
If you remember what a pembroke Corgi looks like:

The top photo is about what our corgi looked like at around 3 to 10 years of age. She passed away a couple of years ago now. So, my wife got a Blue Merle which looks more like the article after this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembroke_Welsh_Corgi
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi (/ˈkɔːrɡi/; Welsh for "dwarf dog") is a cattle herding dog breed which originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales.[1] It is one of two breeds known as a Welsh Corgi. The other is the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and both descend from the line of northern spitz-type dogs (such as the Siberian Husky).[2] Another theory is that Pembrokes are descended from the Swedish Vallhunds, which were crossed with the local Welsh herding dogs.[3] The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the younger of the two Corgi breeds and is a separate and distinct breed[4] from the Cardigan.[1] The corgi is one of the smallest herding dogs. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are famous as the preferred breed of Queen Elizabeth II, who has owned more than 30 during her reign.[5] Although these dogs have been favored by British royalty for more than seventy years, among the British public, they have recently fallen into decline in terms of popularity and demand.[6] However, they remain very popular in the United States. Cities such as New York, Boston, and Los Angeles hold annual "Corgi Meetups" in which hundreds of dogs and their owners congregate to spend the day.[7]

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has been ranked 11th in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, which states that the breed is considered an excellent working dog. According to the American Kennel Club, Pembroke Welsh Corgis were ranked 15th most popular breed of dog in 2017.[8]
Description[edit]
Appearance[edit]
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi sheds extensively, often daily, with coat "blow outs" often twice a year. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has erect ears which are in proportion to the equilateral triangle of the head. The ears should also be firm, medium in size, and tapered slightly to a rounded point. The head should be "foxy" in shape and appearance. Pembroke Welsh Corgis differ from the Cardigan Welsh Corgi by being shorter in length, having smaller ears, and being slightly straighter of leg.[9] The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has a "fairy saddle", somewhat lighter markings on each side of the withers caused by changes in the thickness, length, and direction of hair growth.[10] The Pembroke Welsh Corgi sheds mostly in the spring and autumn and may shed annually, with intact females shedding during heat.[11]
