There are two breeds: the Pembroke Welsh corgi and the Cardigan Welsh corgi. Queen Elizabeth II has kept pet Pembroke Welsh corgis since she was seven years old.[1]
Corgis have a long torso and short legs, large bones, and a very short tail. Corgis were originally bred as dogs. They are very active and like exercise. They are intelligent and have good memories.
Culture
Outside Wales, corgis have been made popular by Queen Elizabeth II. She usually had at least four as pets and once as many as thirteen.[1] Her first corgi was named Susan. She mated Susan and her current dogs are still offspring of that breeding.[1] She now has two corgis who are about twelve years old.[1] Some portraits of Queen Elizabeth II show her holding a corgi or a few around her.[2][1]
