Etymology

The word 'Corgi' is derived from the Welsh language, where 'cor' means 'dwarf' and 'gi' means 'dog'. The breed has roots that date back to the 10th century in Wales. Corgis were originally bred for herding cattle and were valued for their intelligence and agility. They have been popular among the British royal family, notably with Queen Elizabeth II, who has owned more than 30 Corgis throughout her life. This royal association has helped solidify their status as a beloved dog breed worldwide.
