Name: Petunia
Breed: Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Age: 14
Favorites: Petunia loves to lay in the sun. Her stuffed Lion – that she has had from a puppy Mouse hunting – she is better then the cats Sneaking the cat food any chance she gets.
Owner: Jean Runge
Petunia was born 1995 at Davenitch Cardigans.
I went to a dog show for the weekend and came home with a new red puppy. Hubby was so mad, he would not talk to me for 2 weeks. We had Chows and Pembrokes at the time.. Well she is the beginning of Qwaynt Cardigans. She changed our lives completely, because now we own several cardigans. She is getting old but still is my constant companion every where I go. She has slowed down alot with age but she still rules the house with an iron paw. There will never be another Petunia- – Ait Melglithci of Davenitch which is welsh for Honey Dew Dog. She is the main reason I have Cardigans to this day.
At 14 1/2 years old she still tryed to keep up with the younger dogs, and does for the most part.
The last Photo is Petunia’s great grandson Qwaynts Frost Dragon he is 5 months old in the photo.

About the Auther
Dear Jean,
I am debating, should I adopt a Cardigan or Pembroke? I do prefer the tail. Since you have raised both breeds, how is the Cardigan’s personality much different than the Pembroke?
Many thanks for your advices and sharing.
Sincerely,
Joyce

Both the pemm and the cardi are quite different, The pems are sweet, can be mouthy(Barky) they can have personalities where they want to be the center of attention and active, Or they can be quiet and just be a loving couch potato every dog is different.
Carigans can be outgoing love everyone and any thing for most. part. They can be aloof of stranger with out proprer socialation as a young puppy. They can be mouthy(barky too. THey are a bit larger then a pem and be more watch dog then the pem also.
Most important thing is where you would purchase a corgi.
FIND A responsible breeder that tests for know genentic health problem in each of the breeds. HIPS EYE are 2 very important ones. Want to find a breeder who has a contact and will stand behind their contract that has some type of health guarantee and a return policy if it does not work out. A pretty web site can be just that and nothing more. Ask too see heaLthy certificate of the parents of any puppy you may be interested in.
A cownership for a pet puppy is a little over the top but some may ask for one til the puppy is spay or neutered. Be careful and ask many questions and demand answers to your qustions.
