The Pembroke Welsh Corgi (/ ˈ k ɔːr ɡ i /; Welsh for "dwarf dog" [a]) is a cattle herding dog breed that originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. [1] Around the 19th century, The Corgi used to be known as the Welsh Cur, Cur meaning working dog (or Cor being translated to, "to watch over," in Welsh), and Gi being the Welsh word for "dog."
The Welsh Corgi appeared at Crufts—a dog show held annually in the United Kingdom—for the first time in 1927. [16] The first championship was awarded at a Cardiff show in 1928, to a red and white Pembroke bitch named Shan Fach. The breeds continued to be judged together until 1934, when the Kennel Club recognized each breed separately.
The official name was changed from Corgi (Welsh) to Cardigan Welsh Corgi in 2006. [4] The Corgi Club was founded in December 1925 in Carmarthen , South Wales. [ 3 ] It was reported that the local members favoured the Pembroke corgis, so a club for Cardigan enthusiasts was founded a year later in 1926. [ 3 ]
