Cardigan Welsh corgi is believed to come from the family of Dachshunds and Basset hound. The history of the Cardigans goes as long as 3000 years when the Celtic tribe migrated to Wales from central Europe.

Some believe that the Viking invaded the land of wales and the spitz dog which they had brought was crossed between the original corgi and the outcome was the Pembroke Corgi.

The Cardigan Welsh corgi was used as a help dog by the farmers in the field. The dog would also take care of the cattle when grazing in the fields to ensure they are safe from any predator.

They were awarded as the guard dogs and these days the dog is believed to be the best family dog. Welsh law states that stealing the dog or trying to harm them can cause a penalty.

They were shown in a show in 1919 and seven years later the English Cardigan Welsh Corgi Association was founded. During that time the Pembroke and Cardigans were considered to be one single breed.

In the year 1920, a dog named Bob Llwyd was influenced by the breed massively. It is also considered that the first breed standard was made on him.

In the year 1931 Mrs. B.P bole was the first to bring the first pair of Cardigan. One of them was the female puppy known as Cassie who was a quality dog and had given birth to a pup called Megan who became the first U.S champion.

In 1935 The Cardigan Welsh corgi Club of America was formed and slowly the dog moved from sports to guard dogs and help dogs and this way the talent was lost. But people who know the worth will surely love them always.
