Cardigans or Pembrokes?

I don't think this has been a poll yet... What do you prefer - Cardigan Welsh Corgis or Pembroke Welsh Corgis? I've researched both breeds pretty heavily and, even though the difference isn't huge, I definitely prefer Cardi's. :] Pemmy's are much more popular, but what is your preference?

Cardigan

* Slightly larger

* Tails NOT docked

* Several more accepted colors: All Pemmy colors, along with Brindle, Blue Merle, Bi-color, Tri with Brindle points, and a few variations thereof.

* Blue eyes are much more common and accepted in the standard.

* Larger ears, more rounded features & head.

* Typically more outgoing, affectionate & friendly.

Pembroke

* 10-12 inches; 25-30 lbs

* Tails traditionally docked.

* Accepted colors: Sable, Fawn, or Black Tri.

* Foxy head, pointier ears.

* Much more popular.

* Typically bolder in personality, typically more vocal.

* Coat is slightly denser/longer.

* More health problems in the breed.

I know several people that have Pembrokes, but I prefer the Cardigans!

I never understood the difference but I voted Cardigans because their tails aren't docked.

There's not much of a difference between the two. I voted pembroke though. I like their sharper features.
