Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Usually considered the older of the two corgis, the Cardigan comes from the hill farms of Cardiganshire, where it drove cattle and turned its paw to general farm work. Look for the long, fox-like tail and the heavier, rounder build that set it apart from the Pembroke. Owners tend to describe a steadier, more reserved dog than its cousin, but the heeler is still there: it barks, it watches, and it will nip at moving feet if nobody gives it something better to do.
