About corgi
Big dog, small body.
Smart, always wanting to play and learn, loyal, cheerful - just charming!
Welsh corgi - country dogs with a small body and huge soul, one from Pembrokeshire, the other from Cardiganshire (Ceredigion nowadays).
Corgis were counted among the dog cream at the beginning of the 20th century. First breeders, as pioneers, acted a little bit blindly and crossed cardigans with pembrokes. The Kennel Club didn’t give them a help hand either. In 1928 it acknowledged 2 different breeds, but 2 years later changed its attitude, however in 1935 these breeds were separated again.

Pembrokes owe their popularity in the UK to Queen Elisabeth II, who was given her first puppy as a gift in 1933. It was Rozavel Golden Eagle, known as Dookie. The queen has been loyal to the breed. And she is not only a corgi owner, but also a breeder.
The first Polish bitch - Ynghariad-i-Cherry Bossom - came from Germany to Lisiura Kennel owned by the Redliccy family in 1979.
