As the breed's name tells, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi derives from Cardiganshire, Wales, where this tough and agile "dwarf" was used to control unruly cattle. A working farm dog, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi possesses a devilish fearlessness, required to nip at the heels of wild horses, and the intelligence of a fox, which his head and tail preferably resemble. Although low in stature, the Cardigan is not a "small dog"-- this enduring working dog is a down-to-earth canine, whose work ethic and spirit are only matched by his devotion to his family and genuine sincerity. The Cardi makes a superb addition to the right home and requires an owner who is responsible and available.
