Grooming of Cardigans - How to, How often, & How easy!!

Although the Cardigan should be brushed regularly, they are very easily groomed!  Their double coat repels dirt that is removed during brushing.  Their ears should be kept clean and nails cut short to prevent injury.  We usually have our fluffs (Schyler & Spartacus) professionally groomed seasonally and we bathe our other two by ourselves.  The fluffs are gorgeous but do require frequent brushing! 

FAQ

Are Cardigans good as city living pets?

Yes!! Our Cardigan puppies are actually whelped in an urban setting.  Although they do have their own home & yard, they are around lots of neighbors and businesses.  We live in a part of town that is inhabited by mainly young college students, as such our puppies are used to a lot of activity!

FAQ

Cardigan vs Pembroke - what's the difference?

The differences between Pembrokes and Cardigans are as notable as are the similarities:

Similarities: Erect ears; foxy head; long, low body; intelligent; energetic; ability to herd and act as guard dog

Differences: The Pembroke is an extroversive breed, the Cardigan 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 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. 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.   (Source: k9web.com)
