Cardigans or Pembrokes?

[Kfamr]

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.

Pembrokes!They are one of my favorite dog breeds.They place close after Mutts.

There both beautiful dogs but I would have to choose the Corgis.

Did the Pembroke have it's tail cut off or somthing? lol sorry don't know much about dogs.

They're both Corgi's.

If I ever got a Corgi, it would be a Cardigan!

Cardigan! I prefer the colours and LOVE the bushy "raccoon" tail.

cardi. There're generally more towards working dogs.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Well, they are both fantastic breeds- smart, fun-loving and affectionate. I'd have to pick the Pems though. Although I will probably have a Cardi, too, one day!

I'm surprised that more people voted for Cardi's! Most don't know what a Cardigan is when I tell them about Fozzie's Mom... but I guess this is PT. I'm also surprised that sooo many of you want a Cardi someday! Me too! My next pup will definitely be a Cardigan from a great breeder that I know.

About the question regarding docking Pembroke tails, some Pemmy's are born with bob-tails. If they aren't, the tails are docked. Pembrokes with natural tails do have similar tails to Cardigans... the original intention for docking was to avoid a long, natural tail getting stepped on by livestock. Especially since Pemmy's have always been a shorter breed than Cardi's.

Tough question. I LOVE Corgis. But I have switched back and forth between Caridigans and Pembrokes over the years. Initially I really wanted a Cardi, then for a while I was more interested in the Pembrokes, now I am into Cardis again. If you post this poll next year I may answer differently.

Based on the description, I picked Cardigan based on the natural tail, being slightly larger, and the more pet-like personality. However, I have only ever known Pembroke mixes and no pure corgis or Cardigan mixes, so I am not making the most informed decision.

I do think the Pems are much more attractive, tho. Any red-and-white dog is gorgeous in my book.


I'd never pick either one as the pet for me, though.

I voted for the Cardis, but I do love both! I especially love the variety of accepted colors in the Cardi.

I like the Pembrokes....My dad had one when he was a kid...and the dog was a ham...smart as all get! My favorite story was they were having a party and they had a cart with some meat on the bottom (it was like five ibs of burger meat I think) and Goods ate all of it....couldnt walk after that though....he kinda swam along on his belly...
