The Pembroke Welsh Corgi originates from Pembrokeshire, Wales, and is an enchanting dog whose background is rich with folklore. According to Welsh legend, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi came from the lairs of fairies and elves!
For those who don't believe in fairy tales, there are historians who say that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is descended from Vallhunds that were brought to Wales by the Vikings in the 9th and 10th centuries. Others think they may have been descended from dogs that were brought to Wales by Flemish weavers in the 12th century.
