What is the history and background of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi?
True to its name, this dog is identified with the country of Wales and specifically the region of Pembrokeshire in that country. Many believe the Pembroke traces its roots back to Vallhunds of Sweden, with the dogs being brought to Wales by Vikings. Others trace the breed to dogs such as the Pomeranian and feel the animals came to Wales with Flemish migrants. In any case, the dogs were used widely as herding animals, helping farmers move cattle and sheep from place to place.
