About the Cardigan Welsh Corgi

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is one of two distinct Corgi breeds, older and more robust than its Pembroke cousin. Known for their long, fox-like tail and large, rounded ears, they were versatile farm dogs bred for herding cattle and guarding homesteads. Their low stature allowed them to nip at the heels of cattle while avoiding kicks. They are alert, devoted, and intelligent companions with a steady, adaptable nature.
