Corgis of the Past

The following "Oldie" pages are presented for the benefit of fanciers unfamiliar with the corgis in our history or those who may not have access to materials relating to these dogs. This is not meant to represent the entire breed but just select dogs from various periods of time enabling you to see the "evolution" of our breed.

Most of the Pembrokes on these pages appear somewhere in Castell pedigrees. We are proud to have so many of the Greats in our corgi heritage!

The dogs are shown according to birth year and are from both England and America.
