The name Cardigan Welsh Corgi translates to ‘dwarf dog’ and you should see this four-legged canine. They are yard-long dogs and are known for their undocked tails and their very short legs. This, however, does not inhibit them from being sweet little companions. Petland is honored to offer first-class Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppies and our caring team of puppy specialists will help answer any questions you may have.
History of Breed

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is descended from the Teckel family of dogs. This breed of dog is believed to have been in existence in Wales for over 3,000 years. It was brought in aboriginal form by the Celtic tribes who migrated from central Europe to Wales. This breed has had a long proven history as a great family dog since.

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi has a thick double coat with two distinct shedding cycles; spring and fall. Daily brushing will help keep this pup’s coat looking and feeling great. Routine bathing every four to six weeks is also recommended. Making sure to incorporate routine nail trimming for this dog is also advised.
