The Pembroke Welsh Corgi (/ˈkɔːrɡi/; Welsh for 'dwarf dog') is a cattle herding dog breed that originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is one of two breeds known as a Welsh Corgi. Cities such as New York, Boston, and Los Angeles hold annual 'Corgi Meetups' in which hundreds of dogs and their owners congregate to spend the day. Genetic testing is available for Pembroke Welsh Corgis to avoid these issues and enhance the genetic health pool.
