| Brief History: In Welsh, corgi means tiny dog. They were the ones that came from central Europe with the Celts when they migrated into Wales around 1200 B.C. Though their ancestry is not completely known, popular belief says that the Cardigan descended in part from the early Dachshund. In the early 1880s Cardiganshire farmers were believe to have crossed the Cardigan with the old Welsh collie. Until the 1930s the two Welsh Corgis were inter-bred and there is still today little differences between them. |
