Best Answer

Welsh corgis originated in Wales, a country that is part of the United Kingdom. In fact, the word 'corgi' said to have meant 'dwarf dog' in Welsh. The two types of Welsh corgis, the Cardigan Welsh corgi and the Pembroke Welsh corgi are named for the Welsh counties in which they originated.

"Korgi ne gostoc" translates into Curre Dog, which is slanged down to Cur Dog, then adapted back to Corgi.
