Smart, affectionate, and a masterpiece of canine breeding, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a dog that needs no introduction. These compact little cattle herders are courageous, congenial, adorably charming

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is similar to the Pembroke Welsh Corgi (although they are not actually related). You can easily tell the difference by looking for the tail: Cardigans have one, and Pembrokes do not (they are docked short). Cardigan Corgis are also slightly larger than Pembrokes, with more rounded ears. They are also shown in a wider variety of colors. The Pembroke also tends to be more outgoing and sheds more in summer.

Cardigan Welsh Corgis are loving, good-natured, and active. There is a lot of energy and stamina packed into these little dogs. Believe it or not, Corgis are tireless athletes who require plenty of exercise, activity, and mental stimulation to ward off boredom and destructive behavior.

Corgis are watchful by nature and likely to bark at strangers and animals who encroach on their territory. They are easy to groom, easy to care for, and even easier to love. If you're looking for a sweet-faced, fun-loving companion, Cardigan Welsh Corgi is the puppy for you.

Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppies are well-known for being easy to keep and care for. They are generally well-behaved, very personable and highly adaptable to a wide range of living situations.

As herders bred to move cattle, Corgi puppies are fearless, inquisitive and mischievously intelligent. You'll have to keep a close eye on them for their first few months to keep them out of trouble.

This breeding also means they have very specific requirements for exercise. That doesn't mean you have to live on a ranch to own a Corgi but they'll need lots of exercise and frequent socialization to ward off destructive behavior. Fortunately, they love to compete in dog agility trials, obedience classes, showmanship, and any role that keeps them busy.

They want to be part of the family and do not do well left in kennels. Most Corgis are fine with other pets and children so long as they have been socialized.

Cardigan Welsh Corgis are some of the sweetest, goofiest dogs you're likely to ever meet but since they are bred to herd large animals, they are characteristically stubborn so you'll need to be patient and diligent with training.
