| The Cardigan Corgi is a long low dog |
| with large upright ears that are slightly rounded at the tip |
| He has a lovely brush for a tail & a rather short, easy care coat |
| Occasional puppies are born with a longer coat |
| He is a Corgi because he is a small Welsh dog; A Cardigan because he originated in Cardiganshire, Wales |
| He is often referred to as Ci Llathaid - the yard long dog (the Welsh yard is 40 inches) The Cardigan was bred to work closely with the farmers of Wales as a herder of cattle, a guard dog & companion. |
| He was reserved with strangers & completely loyal to his family |
| He comes in many different colours |
| He is full of fun and, if brought up withchildren who are taught to trea him properly, he will revel in frolics, always ready for a game. |
| He displays a sense of humour with his antics |
| He is equally at home looking after people of all ages - families of one, large families or people who need help. |

| They can stil be suspicious of something strange, so, if he shows this suspicion, don't reprimand him - investigate. |

| The Cardi is devoted to his family & can adapt to almost any lifestyle |
| be it living on a farm |
| in a suburban backyard or a city apartment |
| This breed mixes well with other dogs, making them quite habit forming. |

| Any time is playtime |

 |
| and we do like to run |

| Careful breeding for less reserve & socializing of puppies by breeders has produced a dog that is more relaxed with strangers & thus more suited to the lifestyle of present day owners - a delightful inteligent companion of all ages, usually with a quiet & sensible temperament. |
