The Welsh Corgi (Cardigan), also called the Cardigan, the CWC, and the Cardi, is a herding dog that originated in Wales. They have a very distinct look and are a short and long dog that stands between 10.5 and 12.5 inches tall and weigh between 25 and 38 pounds. The males tend to be slightly larger than the females. This breed usually is found in shades of sable, brindle, and red. These dogs are known for the agility, intelligence, and affection.

They were bred to move around livestock. Their distinct look of short legs was specifically bred into the breed to avoid kicks from large farm animals. They are able to move around deftly amongst large stock animals and avoid injury from a stray hoof or foot.

This breed is very smart and trainable and should be started with their obedience training at a young age. Today this dog can be found competing in agility and obedience and is a wonderful all around friend and companion.

Be firm but fair and you will have success in training your Corgi.

The Welsh Corgi (Pembroke), also called the Pembroker, the PWC, and the Corgi, is a Welsh herding dog. Like their cousin the Cardi, they are a long and low stature dog. They stand between 10 and 12 inches tall and generally weigh less than 30 pounds. The females of this breed tend to be slightly smaller than the males. This is generally a healthy breed, however, their body structure makes them prone to developing arthritis early.
