Cardigan Welsh Corgi Dog Breed History, Grooming Tips, Health Issues and Living Environment
The Cardigan Welsh corgi is low to the ground and a long dog. The head is in good proportion to the rest of the body, with a flat skull but is rounded and tapered. The muzzle is parallel with the skull. They have a black nose, in the merle coloured dog, here we find this may be butterfly. They have wide set eyes that are medium to large, with dark rims that add depth to the eyes. The eyes are shades of brown, varying with the coat colour, the exception to this is the merle coated dog which may have blue eyes, which can be either both eyes or one. This breed has beautiful black ears that are large in proportion to the rest of the body and head that suits this breed. This dog has a prominent breastbone, which is deep. Their legs are very short, with front feet setting slightly outwards. With a long low set tail that sets this dogs' look. Coat colours include brindle, black and brindle, saddle, fawn, red, black and grey marbled, black and tan with or without white. The main difference between this corgi, and other corgi breeds is the Cardigan corgi has a long tail. Height of dogs is 10 to 13 inches, with bitches being the same. Their weight, which has to be watched, should be between 11 and 14 kg. This dog's life expectancy is between 12 and 15 years.
History: Some people believe the Cardigan Welsh corgis ancestors came from the Celts In 1200 BC. Throughout history, the Cardigan and the Pembroke Welsh corgi were interbred so most people thought this was the same breed until 1934. At this time, they were separated into two different breeds. Corgis have been used as cattle drivers and were very much a part of the working groups of dogs. Today they are very much a companion dog.
Temperament: The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a highly intelligent breed, with a great willingness to please, and are renowned for being reliable, loving and faithful. It is important to socialise this dog well, particularly when they are young, to help gain a good, balanced, dog. This dog is extremely active, particularly, when they are young, and enjoys moderate activities and walks, swimming being particularly good as this is low impact on their small legs. They are good with children who are considerate to the dog. They are fine with other non-canine animals. Even though we have a small dog, leadership skills are required as the dog can show signs of dominance, and this is to be discouraged. With good leadership, this dog is a wonderful companion. With the right amount of exercise, the corgi should not develop small dog syndrome.
Health issues: The Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed can have back disorders; these can be exaggerated by weight gains, so watching their weight is important. They are prone to PRA and can get glaucoma.
Grooming: Due to this medium length coat, brushing with a firm brush weekly is all the Cardigan Welsh Corgi dog needs. Bath only when necessary, as this can strip the natural oils.
Living conditions: The Cardigan Welsh Corgi dog will be perfectly happy in an apartment with the correct amount of exercise. This will enable them to be a happier dog all round. They can live without a garden.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi – The Smallest Of The Herding Dogs
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a fascinating and robust pooch. Although only 10 to 12 inches high at the shoulder, this little breed packs a punch. They were originally designed to herd cattle, sheep and other livestock. Their shortness was key as they were able to dodge kicks from livestock, in particular avoiding a kick altogether by having the hooves swing just over their heads. Their stout stature is accompanied by short yet thick legs and they are much longer than they are tall.
This dog breed was first recorded in the 11th century and was simply referred to as a Corgi. In 1926, they were accepted by the AKC (American Kennel Club), but it wasn't until 1936 that two distinct breeds were recognized. There are two Corgi dog breeds, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The main difference between the two is that one has the presence of and one has the lack of a tail. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has a naturally bobbed tail. If a Pembroke is born with a short tail, it is said that the genetics of its predecessor (the Cardigan) have been exhibited. That dog then has its tail docked and is not used in the breeding process.
Another characteristic of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is that it is not as thick boned as the Cardigan, but none the less sturdy and quick in stride. The thick legs are followed closely by a thick undercoat to protect them from the weather and has slightly longer guard hairs. Because of this thick coat of fur, they need to be brushed regularly, at least five solid minutes once a week, but more like 15 minutes. Bathing should be done only occasionally, maybe once every two or three months.
Another obvious characteristic of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi (and the Cardigan) is its large ears. They stand up and are designed to catch the sound of their owner as they whistled commands to them in the field. Their eyes are slightly oval in shape and these dog breeds have keen eyesight.
It is because of their long backs that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Cardigan are prone to intervertebral disc disease. Another concern may be hip dysplasia as this dog is very active and loves to run, their hips are more prone to damage. Hip dysplasia is also due to its overall bone structure as well. However, good breeding helps to reduce these medical possibilities. Their health is good overall and these dog breeds live for 11 to 13 years of age.
As far as their temperament goes, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is active, loving, devoted to its family and a wonderful companion. They can live outside, but crave the company of their family and are better suited to be indoors. Their size makes them compatible with apartment living. They do require daily exercise and mental stimulation, however. A nice long leash walk and some play time with a few toys can meet this requirement and also create a long lasting bond.
