One of two kinds of Corgis (the other being the Pembroke Welsh Corgi), the Cardigan is known the little dog with the big brain. Despite their small stature, the Corgi can track down much larger animals and help hunt them. This makes them extremely useful for those owners who like to spend their time hunting and stalking animals including deer and small game birds. A favorite of royalty, Corgis are known to learn quickly how to respond to both basic commands as well as more advanced commands from any owner. They also do well in a household where they work well with adults and children.
