Cardigan Corgi

Personality

Cardigan Corgis are intelligent, alert, and devoted companions. They are more reserved with strangers than their Pembroke cousins but form strong bonds with their families. Their herding instinct is strong, and they can be quite vocal.

Exercise Needs

Requires moderate daily exercise, such as a couple of brisk walks and play sessions. Mental stimulation through training, puzzle toys, or herding activities is essential to prevent boredom.

Grooming & Care

Brush weekly to manage moderate shedding, increasing during seasonal changes. Trim nails regularly and clean ears. Feed a high-quality diet appropriate for a medium-sized, moderately active breed to prevent obesity.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Generally healthy, but can be prone to hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and degenerative myelopathy. Responsible breeding and regular vet check-ups are important.
