Pembroke Welsh Corgi Did You Know?
- The Pembroke Welsh Corgi, unlike the Cardigan, has no tail.
- The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the younger of the two Corgi breeds and is
a separate and distinct breed from the Cardigan.
- The Pembroke is the more popular of the two Corgis.
- The Pembroke, though the younger breed, can trace its origin to 1107 AD.
- The Pembroke has in its ancestry the Keeshond, Schipperke, Pomeranian,
Samoyed, Chow-Chow, Norwegian Elkhound, and Finnish Spitz; it has little
or nothing of Dachshund characteristics like the Cardigan.
- The direct ancestors of the Pembroke were brought across the Channel by
the Flemish weavers who had been induced by Henry I of England to take up
their abode in Wales.
