Cardigan Welsh Corgi
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is one of two Corgi dog breeds known as Welsh Corgis. The other is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, one of the oldest herding breeds originally bred for herding sheep and cattle.
Cardigan Welsh Corgis can be extremely loyal family dogs. They do, however, need mental stimulation and daily physical exercise. Due to their working heritage, their needs would be best met in open space, although they can happily live in apartments with access to space.
Cardigans are highly intelligent, active, athletic dogs. Affectionately known as "a big dog in a small package," Cardigans are devoted companions that can also be alert and responsible guardians. Cardigan Corgis are typically a 'one-man dog'. They tend to be wary of strangers and to reserve their affection for a select few with whom they are familiar. If socialized at a young age, they can be nice with other dogs and housepets.
An average Cardigan is around 10.5 to 12.5 inches (260 to 315 mm) tall at the withers and weighs from 30 to 38 lb. (13.6 to 17.2 kg) for the male and 25 to 34 lb. (11.3 to 15.4 kg) for the female. Cardigans colors include any shade of red, sable, or brindle; black with or without tan brindle or blue merle with or without tan or brindle points.
