Dog (domestic dog)

The Welsh Corgi (/ˈkɔːrɡi/ or Corgi (pl. Corgis); occasionally the etymologically consistent Corgwn /ˈkɔːrɡuːn/) is a small type of herding dog that originated in Wales. The name corgi is thought to be derived from the Welsh words cor and ci (which is mutated to gi), meaning "dwarf" and "dog", respectively.
