Pembroke vs Cardigan

All Corgi lovers will face the question "Which is better? The Pembroke or the Cardigan Corgi?" The two dogs are similar, but they are also different.

Pembrokes are, for the most part, the smaller breed. Cardigans also look like they have proportionally ears, but that may just be my opinion.  They can be red, sable, blue, fawn, black and tan, or black and white. Cardigans can be brindle, black, or merle, and occasionally red.

Cardigans are known for being less friendly with strange people and more "guard dogish" than Pembrokes, but that is only a generalization. Pembrokes also may be more energetic than Cardigans.

 According to intelligence tests, Pembrokes are (quite slightly) more intelligent than Pembrokes, but both dogs are toward the top of the scale.

Another large difference between the two dogs is that in America Pembrokes that are born with tails almost always have them bobbed. Cardigans always have natural tails.

Both dogs are good pets that are good at herding and have similar body shapes.
