1. Cardigan Welsh Corgi and Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The Welsh Corgi has existed in Britain since at least 920 AD. It is one of the oldest dog breeds native to England. Originally, the Corgi's ancestors were very important to herders in ancient times. Later, most of the land that originally belonged to the king and could not be used for grazing was gradually occupied by herders. With enough pasture, herdsmen no longer need to run around to graze, and Corgis have obviously lost their former glory. However, a few people left corgis to visit their homes, and these corgis were later mixed into the bloodlines of other sheepdogs.

The "brothers" Cardigan and Pembroke had always been very close, and it was only in modern times that they began to be separated. There was no clear distinction between the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi before the 1930s. People think they are the same dog breed, just different blood types. In 1928, their name was officially recognized by the British Kennel Club. After the 1930s, Americans began to introduce Cardigan Welsh Corgis, and this dog gradually began to attract people's attention. Finally, in 1935, ACK recognized it as a separate breed. In 1952, Cardigan and Pembroke first appeared at dog shows under different names. Comparing the two, the Pembroke Corgi is shorter, the leg bones are straighter and lighter, and the texture of the back hair is better; but in terms of temperament, the Pembroke Corgi appears restless and easily excited, and is not as good as Cady. A Welsh Corgi is so tame. Moreover, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s tail does not hinder movement and generally does not require tail docking.

2. Swedish Corgi

Origin: Sweden, originated in the 6th century. The Swedish Corgi was mainly bred by Swedish farmers in the eighth century and was originally used to herd cattle. The breed was on the verge of extinction in 1942 and its numbers were very small. Canine experts have made great efforts to revive the breed and keep its numbers rising. It was recognized by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1948. In 1964, the Swedes changed its name to "Vasgotaspets" and it is now widely distributed in Sweden. The Swedes believe that it is the ancestor of the Corgis in various European countries, but this statement has caused widespread controversy. It has not yet been determined whether the Swedish Corgis are the ancestors or descendants of the Corgis. The appearance is obviously similar to the Welsh Corgi, but the coat color tends to be softer. It was recognized by the Federal Kennel Club in 1996.
