The South Korean company, Dong-A, developed this cross in 2001, naming it the “Welchon”, combining the terms “welsh” and “mongrel2”, even though neither parent of the cross was, in fact, of welsh origin.

The Welsh Corgi is a herding dog that originated in the United Kingdom. Although they are small, they are packed with energy and like to be on the move. A daily walk or short play session is the best way to keep your Welsh Corgi happy. If you are looking for a Welsh Corgi, be prepared to meet your dog’s physical and social needs. They thrive on interaction and prefer to be with their people. A home with a fenced yard is ideal, so they can run around and burn off some of that energy.
