The Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Many dog lovers find it difficult to see the differences between the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi unless they are pointed out. The Pembroke has a shorter body than the Cardigan; their legs are straighter with lighter bones; and their coats have a finer texture. And of course, the most obvious differences are the ears and the tail. Pembroke ears are medium-size, pointed at the tips and stand erect. Cardigan ears are larger, rounded at the tips and slope slightly forward. The Pembroke has little or no tail, sometimes as long as three inches as opposed to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, which has a long, full tail. Both are lively spirited and fun-loving. A lot of dog on short legs.
