The combination of their low height off the ground and innate agility of Welsh Corgis would allow them to avoid the hooves of cattle. Welsh Corgis were cattle herding dogs the type of herding dog referred to as "heelers", meaning that they would nip at the heels of the larger animals to keep them on the move. Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire are adjoining historical agricultural counties in South West Wales. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi gained in popularity because the Queen has personally owned more than 30 Pembrokes or Corgi- Dachshund crosses, known as dorgis. The Pembroke is the more popular of the two, yet still appears on The Kennel Club's vulnerable dog breeds of the United Kingdom list. Historically, the Pembroke has been attributed to the influx of dogs alongside Flemish weavers from around the 10th century, while the Cardigan is attributed to the dogs brought with Norse settlers, in particular a common ancestor of the Swedish Vallhund. Their tails are of different shapes, and docking had previously been performed. According to the breed standards, overall the Cardigan is larger, both in weight and in height. There are physical differences between the two different breeds. Two separate breeds are recognised: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The name "corgi" is derived from the Welsh words "cor" and "ci" (which is mutated to ‘gi’), meaning "dwarf" and "dog", respectively. The Welsh Corgi ( / ˈ k ɔːr ɡ i/ or Corgi, plural Corgis, or occasionally the etymologically consistent "Corgwn" / ˈ k ɔːr ɡ uː n/) is a small type of herding dog that originated in Wales.
