Before we go any further, we need to make some distinctions between the two Corgi breeds.

While they’re strikingly different in appearance, they were only recognized to be different breeds in the 1930s.

Generally, when people talk about Corgis, they’re talking about the Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Originating from the region of Pembroke, Wales, this breed is the smaller of the two, with shorter legs and most commonly has a bobtail.

The second breed of Corgi is the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, which originates from the region of Cardigan, Wales.

Cardigans are an all-round more stocky and larger dog.
