Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Good to know

• Cattle herder: bred in Wales to drive cattle by nipping at their heels, so some may try to herd people or pets.
• Look for the tail: unlike the Pembroke, the Cardigan has a long, brushy tail and comes in more colors, including blue merle.
• Big shedder: the double coat sheds all year and heavily in seasonal blowouts, so plan on frequent brushing.
• Active and smart: they need daily exercise and training, and enjoy dog sports like herding and agility.

Getting out with a Cardigan Welsh Corgi

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
