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 breed was formerly called "yard-long dog" (Welsh: ci-llathed). [7] The name "Cardigan Welsh corgi" name comes from their area of origin in Wales, Cardigan (Welsh 'Ceredigion'), and ironically not from their coat markings oftentimes resembling a "cardigan" or "vest" worn by the dog. It was brought to the US for the first time in June of 1931.
