About Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Weight 25-38 lbs
Height 10-12 in
Life Expectancy 12-15 years

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi has a rich history that dates back over a thousand years, originating in Wales as a hardworking herding dog. This lovable breed is known for its charming personality and unwavering loyalty, making it a wonderful addition to any family. With their medium-sized stature, these dogs are well-suited for various living environments, including apartments, where they can thrive as long as they get their daily exercise and mental stimulation. Their playful nature and affectionate demeanor ensure that they bond closely with their family, including young children and other pets.

With moderate energy levels, Cardigans enjoy a good play session but are equally content to cuddle on the couch afterward. They do have a tendency to bark, making them good watchdogs, but their friendly disposition usually prevails, allowing them to get along well with other dogs and even some cats. Keeping them entertained is essential, as their intelligence makes them eager learners. They excel in training, so you can expect to see excellent progress and responsiveness as you teach them new tricks or commands.

Grooming a Cardigan Welsh Corgi requires a bit of attention, as they do shed quite a bit. Regular weekly brushing helps keep their coat looking its best, while also reducing loose hair around the house. They thrive on human interaction, making them fun companions who are always ready to love and be loved in return. If you’re in Furrylicious® and looking for a delightful and well-rounded canine companion, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi may just be the perfect fit for your family.
