Cardigan Welsh Corgis are sturdy herding dogs known for intelligence, loyalty, and a long tail (unlike the Pembroke). They form strong bonds with family and are alert watchdogs, benefiting from early training to manage barking. Cardigans enjoy daily walks, training games, and activities that challenge their mind. Their double coat sheds and requires routine brushing. With good weight management and consistent manners, Cardigans can be steady, affectionate companions with a practical, hardworking heritage.
Cardigan Welsh Corgis are one of the oldest herding breeds in Britain, developed in Wales to move cattle and guard farms. They have a long working history and a distinctive, sturdy build.
