The Royal Corgis

Hi guys, it’s me again! As you know, we are getting back to the new normality and also the

animals. This time we are going to talk about a particular dog breed: Corgi.

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a small native breed from the United Kingdom. It is a small

type of herding dog, and it’s considered one of the oldest dogs in the UK. There is another

similar breed Cardigan Welsh Corgi is larger both in weight and height.

This info is so curious because if you want to identify them, you need to know that

Cardigans have tails; Pembrokes do not.

The meaning CORGI according to the Oxford English Dictionary, cor means dwarf and gi

means dog so

CORGI MEANS “DWARF DOG” IN WELSH.

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is very famous because of The Queen Elizabeth the Second, she

has had more than 30 Pembroke in her lifetime!

The Queen met her first corgi when she was 7, The King George VI brought a male dog

home from a kennel in 1933. It’s name was Dookie, the dog was an immediate hit with the

future queen and her sister, Princess Margaret.
