[1] Cardigan Welsh corgis are known to be an extremely loyal and trainable dog breed, naturally attuned to herding many different animals, from poultry and waterfowl to large livestock such as sheep and cattle.

[3] It was reported that the local members favoured the Pembroke corgis, so a club for Cardigan enthusiasts was founded a year later in 1926.

[4] The word "corgi" is derived from the Welsh: cor gi, which means "dwarf dog".

[4] The Cardigan is a long, low dog with upright ears and a fox brush tail.

They usually have white on the neck, chest, legs, muzzle, underneath, tip of the tail and as a blaze on the head, known as the "Irish pattern".

Pregnancy lasts about two months, and the female can have a small or large litter of puppies, a process known as whelping.

[14] A 2024 UK study found a life expectancy of 13.1 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds.

[16] Canine Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is known to occur in the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.

[17] The Cardigan Welsh Corgi can also inherit a vision disorder known as Progressive Retinal Atrophy, with cases discovered in Australia, USA, UK and the Netherlands.

[19] Cardigan Welsh Corgis compete in dog agility trials, obedience, showmanship, flyball, and tracking events.
