Cardigans or Pembrokes?

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.

I like the Cardigans...like wolfq, I'm a sucker for a blue merle blue eyed dog.

Pembrokes are supposed to be 25-30 lbs?? Mostly I see around 15 lbs.

I love both.
When I am a more advance trainer in agility, I will have a cardigan, I love the breed and there such sweet dogs.

I'd have to say a nice dark brindle and white Cardi would be my fave. Cardigans have longer legs, and I think a tail really suits a Corgi. I also like the Vastgotaspets, especially their tail that curls over the back.

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...

Since I am partial to the Blue Merle coloring, and I see Pembrokes do not come in that color, I had to go with Cardigans.

I voted Cardigan. =]
Their facial features appeal to me more.

Cardigans. But if I were to choose one to own it would have to be Pembroke because from what I've heard they are generally less active and have less drive to work.
