A small, sturdy herding dog breed from Wales, with short legs, a long body, and pointed ears.
From Welsh 'cor' (dwarf) and 'ci' (dog), literally meaning 'dwarf dog.' These dogs were used for herding cattle in medieval Wales and were officially recognized as a breed in the 20th century.
Corgis became world-famous because Queen Elizabeth II owned more than 30 of them during her reign—but centuries before that, Welsh farmers relied on these tough little dogs to herd cattle that weighed ten times more!
