The origin of the breed is uncertain. Some argue that the first examples arrived in England as a result of Flemish weavers. According to others it is instead a native dog.The region from which it spread is however Wales, where it was used for the surveillance of poultry animals on farms in the Welsh moors.The first use of the Corgi as a guide dog for herds of cattle dates back to the 15th century. It was at this time that Wales began supplying large English cities with meat.The Welsh Corgi comes to distinguish itself in two varieties: the Welsh Corgi Pembroke, more ancient, and the Cardigan, of more recent selection. During the twentieth century the breed begins to be highly appreciated for pure company, thanks above all to its use in this sense by the Queen of England.In 1934 the Kennel Club determined that Cardigan and Pembroke had to be two distinct breeds and not just two varieties of the same dog.
