Cardigan Corgis?

I have a quick question what is a cardigan corgi? I have never heard of one. I was told last night they are corgis with tails. OK. I have always thought corgis with tails are Carrington's. If Iam wrong I will say so.

The differences go beyond the tail. The cardigans ears are rounded at the tips, not pointy. The Cardigan is a larger dog, a heavier dog. In my experience they are not as hyper and the pem cousins. Others may say different, but it is just want i have seen.

True, they are quite different. Appearance wise, they are built more like a Basset which makes sense since they come from the Tekel family. Pembrokes are a Spitz type dog. This would also account for the difference in personality.

I know Gwenie is a talker. She is my first corgi who has a lot to say. My Jack was quiet. He only spoke to tell us the doorbell or if he saw a jet. He chased jets. As I sit here she is talking to me as if she is telling me to type something. I have heard many say corgi's are yappy dogs but I don't think so. Thanks.
