Corgis came from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Estonia, Germany, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom and the United States — including one competitor who travelled all the way from California just for the event.

What started in 2020 as a spontaneous gathering between two corgi owners has grown into an international celebration of the breed.
