Corgi | Pedigree Chums™ The Dog Bingo Game

The Pembroke kept the Welsh cattle dog's job, but grew into a slightly different kind of Corgi from the Cardigan. In our family tree, its ancestors include spitz dogs, the Cardigan and Welsh herding dogs. The breed is still with us, though today most people know it as a pet, and as Queen Elizabeth II's favourite breed, rather than as a cattle dog. Tap a circle inside to keep digging.
