Description : The Cardigan Welsh Corgis are less popular than their cousins, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Still they make loyal and affectionate pets who are child friendly. The main noticeable difference between Cardigans and Pembrokes is that Cardigans have good sized tails, Pembrokes do not. They are intelligent and easily trained, yet still require a firm hand when it comes to nipping. Though quite short, they are possessive of their owner's property and make good watch dogs.
