Breed History
It’s a cardigan The oldest of the two Corgi breeds, the Welsh Corgi is named after the Welsh kingdom of Cardiganshire in the Middle Ages. They are, in fact, the oldest breed in Britain.
Around 3,000 years ago, the Celts are thought to have brought cardigans from Central Europe to Wales, and corgis were already driving Welsh herds 1,000 years prior.
Cardigans have a long history of working as farm dogs, hunting partners, family protectors, and athletes. They are excellent herding breeds because of their low to the ground profile, which enables them to bite at the heels of cattle without getting kicked. They also watch over the flock at night.
In 1107, when Henry I invited a group of weavers to reside and work in southwest Wales, Pembroke Corgis first arrived in Britain. The canines that these skilled craftsmen had developed to herd sheep and cattle came with them.
Prior to 1934, Cardigans and Pembrokes were interbred before being designated as different breeds.
