Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Small–Medium · 25–38 lbs
Believed to have been brought to Wales by Celtic tribes from Central Europe over 3,000 years ago, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is one of the oldest herding breeds in Britain. Distinguished from the Pembroke by its long tail — which Cardigans retained while Pembrokes were historically docked — the Cardigan is considered the older of the two Corgi varieties.
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a smart, loyal herding dog in a compact package — trainable (80/100) and friendly (80/100), making it a great fit for active apartment dwellers and families. The main downside is heavy shedding (75/100), and this breed’s herding instinct means it may try to round up children and other pets.
