As the breed's name tells, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi derives from Cardiganshire, Wales, where this tough and mobile 'dwarf' was used to control unruly cattle. A working farm dog, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi possesses a devilish fearlessness, required to nip at the heels of wild horses, and the intelligence of a fox, which his head and tail preferably resemble. It is this fox-brush tail that distinguishes the Cardigan Corgi from his cousin, the Pembroke, though the two Welsh breeds derive from different lineage. Although low in stature, the Cardigan is not a 'small dog'—this enduring working dog is a down-to-earth canine, whose work ethic and spirit are only matched by his devotion to his family and super-canine intelligence.

This book provides the much-needed factual information about the Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed and its ancestry, character and standard, as well as proper selection, feeding, basic obedience and house-training and preventative health care.
