The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is larger than the Pembrooke Welsh Corgi, and has been around the longest. Cardigans are less social and more territorial. They make good family dogs but will not tolerate inconsiderate treatment - make sure any children understand the play and treatment rules. If they nip at your heels they're only trying to herd you into a group. Because they are more active than the Pembrooke they require regular exercise, and make good apartment dogs if walked on a regular basis. Their coat will shed a couple of times a year and they only need a weekly brushing.
