One of the obvious differences is the tail. A Pembroke has a natural bob or docked tail and the Cardigan has a full length tail. After you have been around both breeds the differences become more distinct. The Pembroke generally has a very extroverted personality, the Cardi is friendly but may be reserved with strangers. The Pembroke's ears are erect, firm, and of medium size, tapering slightly to a rounded point, while the Cardigan's ears are larger and more rounded at the tips. The Cardigan is slightly larger and more heavily boned than the Pembroke. The Pembroke's feet generally point straight forward, while the Cardigan has a slightly bowed front with feet that point outward (no more than 30 degrees). The Cardigan’s have a wider range of coat color not normally found on a Pembroke, i.e., blue merle and brindle.
We encourage you to learn more about both breeds as each have their own special and distinct characteristics.
