The Cardigan Welsh Corgi was first developed in South Wales and was used as a cattle drover. He could also clear a herder’s land of a neighboring herder’s cattle.
This breed made his first appearance in the British show ring in 1925 and was first classified as the same breed as the Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
However, he received a separate classification in 1934. Welsh folklore includes many references to this dependable ancient breed.
