Pembroke Welsh Corgi Information

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the smaller, newer, and more popular of the two Welsh Corgi breeds, but to most people the difference is in the tail! Cardis sport a long tail (remember long like the sleeves of a Cardigan sweater) and Pems have none, or only the tiniest stub.

CorgiAid is a nonprofit organization which raises money to meet extraordinary expenses for rescue Corgis -- Cardigans, Pembrokes, and mixes -- with special medical, transport, training or fostering needs. The concept of CorgiAid began on Corgi-L and became a reality through the incredible generosity of Corgi-L members. Read the story of the CorgiAid mascot, Corgi-L's Heidi Braveheart, and watch for the CorgiAid logo next to listings in the shopping section. Your support of these merchants, artists, and craftspeople raises needed funds for CorgiAid!
