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.

The Welsh Corgi (/ ˈ k ɔːr ɡ i / [5] or Corgi, plural Corgis, or occasionally the etymologically consistent Corgwn; / ˈ k ɔːr ɡ uː n /) is a small type of herding dog that originated in Wales. The name corgi is derived from the Welsh words cor and ci (which is mutated to gi), meaning "dwarf" and "dog", respectively.
The breed was formerly called "yard-long dog" (Welsh: ci-llathed).

It was brought to the US for the first time in June of 1931.

A natural bobtail is an animal's tail which due to a mutated gene grows unusually short or is missing completely. The genes for the shortened tail may be dominant or recessive. Because of legislation restricting or preventing docking, natural bobtails are growing in popularity among the dog fancy for some traditionally docked breeds.
