Is my dog a cardigan or pembroke welsh corgi?

Hi,

We just adopted this little guy from the local shelter (brighton, co). The shelter had him listed as a cardigan welsh corgi, he was a stray so there's not history on him other than they think he's about 2 year old. He has a short tail, but I'm not sure if it was docked or if he was born that way. Does anyone know if he's a cardi or pem?

Thanks!

Michelle

I suppose it could be a Cardi/pembrooke mix? Face looks a lot like a Cardi but the docked tail sounds like a pembrooke.

Looks like a sable Pem to me.

His face looks just like our purebred tricolor pembroke! Did they maybe just not dock his tail?

He looks like a pem to me, based on the shape of his head and ears.

I'd vote for him being a Pem. His face doesn't look "hound" enough to be a Cardy. The tail could be a natural dock or someone didn't dock it right to the breed standard. He's a good looking fellow and has that "interested look" and I'm sure with your love and attention he'd become a great friend. Congrats on your new Corgi pal!
