The Pembroke Welsh Corgi (tail-less) shares the same heritage as the Cardigan Welsh Corgi (long-tailed)—in fact, they were considered the same breed until 1934. Their heritage is a particularly ancient one, as it is believed that a dog resembling the Cardigan came to the part of Wales now known as Cardiganshire when the Celts migrated there more than 1,000 years BCE. The Pembroke came to Wales a little later—around the 10th century—and was named after the area of Pembrokeshire. The derivation of the name "Corgi" may be attributed to the Celtic word for "dog" (corgi). Other tales passed on through generations say that the little dogs were named for cor ("dwarf") and gi ("dog") or for cwr, which in Welsh means "to watch over."
