Welsh Corgi Cardigan




In 1934, the English Kennel Club recognized the Cardigan Welsh Corgis and Pembroke as two distinct races. Old, although of different origins and races, Corgis were traditionally used to drive and herd cows, ponies and geese, but also participated in the Welsh rural life of farmers : they kept farms or helped farmers hunt. Corgis were commonly called "heelers", because of the way they lead cattle: by pinching the knees. Some also maintained that natural atavism. It is believed that the origins of Welsh Corgis Cardigans date back to more than 3000 years ago in Wales. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi descends from the family of dachshunds. It was brought there by the Celtic tribes who migrated to Wales from Central Europe. This primitive dog would be a transitional form between the families of bassets and spitz.
