ORIGIN AND HISTORY
Pembroke Welsh Corgi (no tail) share a common heritage with Welsh Cardigan Corgi (long tail). Actually considered the same type until 1934 His legacy is very old, as it believes that the dog seems to Cardigan came to this part of Wales is now known as Cardiganshire when Celts migrated there over 1,000 years before Christ. The Pembroke Welsh arrived a little later - around the 10th century and the name of the area of Pembrokeshire. Decrease the name "Corgi" may be due to the Celtic word meaning "dog" ( corgi). Another story passed down from generation to say that small dogs have names sharing ("dwarf") and gi (" dog") or CWR, which in Welsh means" to keep an eye on."These dogs are used for work livestock, and due to its size, it could nip at the heels of cattle, avoiding being expelled. This becomes a very valuable work Welsh crofters (farmers) when the UK decided that it could have worked just a few acres of his farm and surrounded trait. This land is fenced, small farmers considered tenants, and the rest of the land considered public lands, where cattle can graze. Style that works really won Corgi carried further that keep corralled together, allowing a large grass area. Competition among small farmers grazing land became fierce, and Corgis help determine the area. Over time, this practice was abolished by the Crown, and small farmers, and were able to have their own farmland. This makes dogs more traditional grazing use, and is more often Corgi fireside rather than in the fields. Since the 1930s, breeders have emphasized each race - the Pembroke has the look and foxier legs straight, and the lack of a single queue. The Pembroke is the favorite dog of Queen Elizabeth II.
