Breed History

Developed in Lancashire, England as an all-purpose farm dog for herding cattle by nipping at heels and for ratting. Believed to be developed from crosses between Welsh Corgis and Manchester Terriers. Nearly extinct by the 1960s but saved through dedicated breeding programs. Recognized by The Kennel Club (UK) in 1981 and AKC in 2024.
