#1 There Are Two Types of Corgis
Although Cardigan Welsh Corgis and Pembroke Corgis look alike, they've actually considered to be two totally different breeds from two different ancestors.

There's some debate around the meaning of "Corgi," but there are two main theories out there:

- Alternately, the word "cor" translates to "dwarf" in Welsh—and, again, "gi" translates to "dog."
