The Cardigan Welsh Corgi, also known as the Cardi, the Cardigan, and the CWC, is a breed of dog in the Herding Group. The Cardigan, along with the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, are the two members of the Corgi breed. Unlike the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the Cardigan has a tail. This breed of dog is known best for their winning personality. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi was recognized by the AKC in 1935 and approved in 1935.
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a long, low dog breed with upright ears and a fox-like appearance. The old American Kennel Club standard called it an "Alsatian on short legs". Unlike Pembroke Corgis, who are bred to have only a small nub of a tail (without docking) the Cardigan's tail is long.
