About Corgis
As near as we can tell, "Corgi" meant "dwarf dog" in ancient Wales. There are two breeds of corgis, or more properly in Welsh corgwn (pronounced corgoon). These breeds are the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi . Both breeds are herding dogs, originally used for driving cattle out into the fields by day. They were also general all-purpose farm dogs, guarding the home, ridding it of vermin, and watching over the children. Today's corgis retain the herding and guarding instincts of their ancestors.
Breed Differences
As we have both of the breeds of Welsh Corgis, people often ask us about the similarities and differences of the breeds. I wish to add two disclaimers in advance: the first is IMO - In My Opinion, and the second is BNA - But Not Always. Please feel free to liberally pepper the following with these initials.
The Cardigans and the Pembrokes play together, but don't have the same style of playing. The Pembrokes like to run in and nip at each other, the Cardigans like to run up and body-slam. This irritates the Pembrokes, who are as a rule substantially outweighed.
