Personality
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is an intelligent dog who is easy to train and loves to have a job. He is devoted to his family, and loves to spend time with them as much as possible. Early socialization helps him deal with unfamiliar situations and makes him safe with children. Cardigan Welsh Corgis do well in a variety of living situations, as long as they get adequate exercise and attention.
History
With a history that may date back to 1,000 BC, the name “Corgi” probably derives from the Celtic word for dog. Others believe the name comes from a combination of “cor” (dwarf) and “gi” (dog). Used as cattle dogs, the breed herded cows with a technique called heeling; their short stature allowed them to nip at the cows’ heels without being kicked. The Welsh Corgi comes in two types: the Cardigan (long-tailed) and the Pembroke (tailless). Cardigan Welsh Corgis are stockier and longer than the Pembroke type. The Cardigan also has larger rounder ears and comes in a wider range of acceptable colours.
