Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Cardigan Welsh Corgis, like their kin, the Pembroke Welsh Corgis, are sweet-natured pups who like to herd cattle (or humans) but, if they can’t, are quite content being your very best pal. Cardis are easy to train, good companions, and love being around kids. They even play well with other animals too! They are sturdy like their cousin, the Pembroke, with a long body and stout legs, as well as a deep chest. They are built this way to be able to nip cattle on the heel and avoid getting booted by one. 

One quick to know the difference between a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and a Pembroke Welsh Corgi is by the tail: Cardis have one, Pembrokes don’t! This breed of dog comes from Cardiganshire, Wales. Historians believe they were brought down to Wales by ancient Celts sometime 3000 years ago. Nonetheless, Cardis were confirmed cattle herders in Wales at least 1000 years ago. 

Cardis love and need activity, with an incredible love of the outdoors, to keep them physically and mentally satisfied. As active and resourceful as Cardis are bred to be, they remain faithful, bright, kind dogs genuinely up for anything.
