Cardigan Welsh Corgis

 

 

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi, not to be confused with the tailless and smaller Pembroke Welsh Corgi, is the oldest dog breed from the British Isles. They were bred to herd live stock. Despite the breed's ancient origins, few are found outside of Wales.

                                     Cosmo is the one with the beautiful eyes. Puck is the one with the beautiful blue eye.


Cardis are large dogs who just happen to have very short legs. They come in a variety of colors. Both Cosmo and Puck were blue merles. Orbit is a sable and Robin Goodfellow is a tricolor. Cardis have delightful personalities, friendly with those they know ( a bit stand-offish with strangers but not vicious), gregarious, playful, and extremely intelligent which makes them a bit mischievous at times. They are wonderful pets and companion dogs.
