Dogs 101 - CARDIGAN WELSH CORGI - Top Dog Facts About the CARDIGAN WELSH CORGI
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a cattle herding breed developed in Wales. It is believed to have come to Wales from Europe with the Celts centuries ago, and probably has the same ancestors as the Dachshund. It was used for a wide variety of purposes like hunting and guarding, before finally becoming specialized in use with cattle. Before landowners started using fences to mark their estate, all area occupied by one’s cattle used to be considered one’s property. These low set dogs that could drive other landowner’s herds away by moving fast and nipping at cattle’s feet without getting hurt proved very useful in marking territory. These dogs were so specialized for cattle driving that in time, as land became more formally marked and fences were drawn, Corgis lost their utility. The breed would have been extinct but for some enthusiasts, who kept them as guard dogs, and continued to breed them, also incorporating some herding features over the years. For some time, the two Welsh Corgi breeds - the Pembroke and the Cardigan - were considered the same, and interbreeding was very common. In the 1930s, the two were recognized as separate breeds, and were brought to the US around the same time.
Time for some Ruff Trivia:
- Which one of these can be used to distinguish between a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and a Pembroke Welsh Corgi?
o A: Ears
o B: Coat Color
o C: Tail
What do you think, give it your best guess in the comments below before we get to the answer! Hang on tight and we’ll get back to this Ruff Trivia Question toward the end of the video.
An adult Cardigan Corgi has height in the range of 10.5 and 12.5 inches. The male weighs between 30 and 38 pounds, and the female between 25 and 34 pounds. Its length is about 1.8 times its height. It has large, prominent and upright ears; a tapering muzzle; a muscular neck; and a long, furry tail. The coat has two layers - the upper coat is slightly harsh and of medium length, the under coat is soft and thick. The colors seen generally are combinations of white with shades of red, black, brindle, sable and red merle.
Grooming: Taking care of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s coat can be quite a chore for many people. It requires brushing - often daily - to keep shedding in check. Trimming of nails, cleaning of ears and brushing of teeth need to be regular.
Environment: Cardigans are known to be loving and loyal, and get along well with children and family members. Their natural instincts as guard dogs keep them from getting comfortable with strangers easily. For several generations, these dogs have been bred to become good companion dogs, and it shows in their devotion to their owners. They can get aggressive with animals their own size or larger, but this can be controlled through early socialization. Cardigans are known to bark more than most other dogs.
Training: Cardigans can be trained easily for a number of purposes, including therapy, companionship and herding trials. They are built to survive long hours working in the field, and are surprisingly active for their small size. They require a good play session or a long walk to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. Chores like fetching the newspaper are known to keep them happy.
Health: The life expectancy of the breed is between 10 and 12 years. It is a fairly healthy breed, with some ailments seen being hip and elbow dysplasia, retinal atrophy, arthritis, and some problems related to old age.
An intelligent breed that can be trained to perform many common functions, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi can prove a valuable companion. It is great for city home living or life on a farm, and with its nature lives up to the nickname of ‘a big dog in a small package’.

I miss my corgi she lived a wonderful 16yrs.
Love my Corgi!! I have a cardigan but have raised several Welsh. They are the smartest and best temperament dogs I’ve ever had.
They are both Welsh, haha. It's Pembroke vs cardigan
Most of these pictures are NOT Cardigans.
They are mostly Pembrokes.
Pembrokes do not have tails (extremely rare) whereas Cardigans always have tails.
Cardigans also have rounder ears, a wider chest, and only come in two coat colors which are black and white (with brindle markings at times) or Merle coloring. Pembroke corgis are tri-colored, sable, and red and white.
For once I would love to see a video about Cardigans that actually shows cardigans in pictures. They are VASTLY different from the Pembroke in nearly every way.
Temperament, size, color, shape, weight, and work ethic. It's like comparing an Akita to a Shiba Inu.
I was thinking the same thing! I have two brindle coloured cardigans and people often mistake them for pembrokes and then say “I’ve never seen a corgi in this colour” 😅😅 most people don’t know they are two different breeds. Also, they behave completely different than pembrokes
Tail...yeah I was right! Cute doggies ♡♡♡♡
Corgis are the best :0) I have 1 of each and they love each othermale Pembroke and a female cardigan Love my 2 to peices :0)
Very good information
Coat color!
2:46 great gaspy :)
Pavlica Milan yup me love Gastby!
These pictures are not cardigans.
Hannah Kampa a lot of the ones shown in the videos are actually cardigans.
Hannah Kampa but it is true that it's very mixed up when they're talking about the Cardigans, which is confusing
Goes out of the way to say the breeds are recognized as separate.
-
Uses pictures of both breeds with 99% being Pembrokes while discussing Cardigans.
All three can distinguish one breed from the other. Cardigans have different coat colors and larger, rounder ears than the Pembroke.
ruff trivia....my answer is C the Tail....it really tells the difference
Yeah right jak
Why do you show so many pictures of Pembrooke corgis in this video?
The answer isn't c, its b, the color.
"Some Pembroke Welsh Corgis are born with their tail naturally short or missing. Others may have their tails docked between 2-5 days old due to historical tradition or as a measure of conformation to the Breed Standard.[13] Artificial docking was born of necessity given the Pembroke's function as a herding dog in the United Kingdom. According to Tax Law, any companion canine was considered a luxury and pet/companion owners were levied a tax. Dog owners, however, who kept dogs for working purposes such as herding were exempt from the tax. In order to claim the exemption, owners had to ensure the dogs sported docked or bobbed tails. The Kennel Club,[14] the United Kennel Club,[15] and the FCI allow intact tails in Conformation shows. The AKC Standard states tails should be docked no longer than 2 inches (5 cm). In many countries, docking has been deemed illegal."
It's the ears and the coat color.
Not accurate. Pembroke shown when discussing Cardigans. Do your research! Two different breeds that look similar!

That Was a Trick Question Their Ears Are Different Than Pembrokes
Technically ears and coat color. Because cardigans come in a few colors the Pembroke don't
I have an all white one
2:53 Its Gatsby!
DTV Entertainment Yup!
DTV Entertainment I love Gastby!
My corgi cardigan would pick fights with other dogs 4 times his size xd
Wtf Gatsby is a Pem

Wrong... the best way is by the ears
Both can have a tail and both have overlapping color patterns; however, the EARS are very different.
I have both a pem and cardi... best dogs in the world
Tail edit: yay I'm correct!!
Did you do any research at all? An absolutely pointless upload saturated with false information and pictures of the wrong breed of dog. As far as dog breed informational uploads go, this us amongst the worst and should be removed.
