Nope, nuh-uh. The Pembroke & Cardigan are very, very different in genetics. “Corgi” is not indicative that you simply dock the tail on one, but not the other.
From the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America:
“WHAT ABOUT THE EARLY BEGINNINGS OF THE TWO CORGIS?
Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgis are of different origins. Pembroke Corgis come from the same lines as Terriers, Spitz and Schipperkes and became popular due to the Queen’s influence.
Cardigans are an older, rarer breed, coming from the same heritage as the Tekdal dogs, such as the Dachshund. They remained in the hands of the old farmers and breeders, who continued to breed them selectively for the purpose of herding and family companions. The Cardigan temperament is more like a Collie or a well-bred German Shepherd Dog. Temperament and trainability are of the utmost importance.”
The Queen loves her Corgis like I love Schnauzers!
Interesting how people seem to have a particular breed they like but don't always know why.
I have never been around Airedales, but feel drawn to them nonetheless.
