This dog is a hardy little worker from the rugged Welsh countryside. His intelligence and stamina are still prized by farmers who use the breed to help drive cattle to and from pasture. The sturdy Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a handsome and powerful dog, capable of both speed and endurance.
Cardigans usually have flashings of white hair in their coats.
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is an even-tempered, loyal and affectionate dog who makes a great companion. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi can be distinguished by the size, shape and placement of the ears. The Cardigan's ears are set at a slight angle to the skull, and are farther apart and more rounded at the tips than the Pembroke's. Another difference is the shape of the forearms. The Cardigan is also somewhat larger in body than the Pembroke.
