Dog Breeds - Welsh Corgi
The Welsh Corgi is a small breed of dog that originated in Wales (the name "Cor gi" means "dwarf dog" in Welsh). Originally bred for herding sheep and cattle, Corgis are active, intelligent dogs that are excellent companion animals and outstanding competitors in sheepdog and agility trials. They are recognized as two distinct breeds: the Cardigan and the Pembroke.The Pembroke was made popular by Queen Elizabeth II, who keeps four at all times, and remains the more common variety. The Cardigan is the larger of the two, with larger rounded ears and a foxy, flowing tail whilt the Pembroke features rounded, pointed ears, a somewhat smaller stature, and a very short, bobbed tail. Both breeds are among the healthiest and longest lived of the herding dogs.
