The Corgidor is a relatively recent designer breed, likely originating in the late 20th or early 21st century as breeders sought to combine the desirable traits of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Labrador Retriever. While not officially recognized by major kennel clubs like the American Kennel Club (AKC), as it is a mixed breed, the Corgidor is recognized by designer breed registries. Its parent breeds, however, have long and storied histories. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has roots in Welsh herding traditions, dating back to the 10th century, while the Labrador Retriever originated in Newfoundland, Canada, as a fisherman's helper in the 19th century. The Corgidor's history is primarily tied to the increasing popularity of designer dogs and the desire for companions that blend characteristics of well-loved breeds.
