The history of the corgi can be traced back to the 12th century when Flemish weavers travelled to Wales to live there. The Pembroke Welsh corgi is most associated with the weavers, as it was an attempt by the weavers to increase the population of this particular corgi breed.

There is also a strong link between corgis and Norse settlers, as some of the corgi breeds were used as herding dogs for Norse settlers.

One of the most popular corgi breeds is the dwarf, which is also known as the cur dog. The word 'cur' is borrowed from the Nordic word 'kurra', which translates to "to grow".

People who are fond of small dogs find corgis extremely adorable. They are friendly as well. International Corgi Day is one of the best opportunities to learn how to take care of this breed.
