Meet the CHONKS…
DRAX
Drax is our pedigree Cardigan Corgi stud. He was born in October 2021. He often gets confused for a Borgi (Corgi cross Border Collie) because he is black and white at a glance, but he is in fact a tricolour Cardigan - black and white with brindle points.
We named him after Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy. Fortunately, he did not live too much up to that name, for while he is all bark, he has no bite, just lots of opinions - which is pertinent to the Cardigan Corgi breed.
While he comes from a long line of show-winning Corgis, he won our hearts because of his ability to remain an adorable eternal puppy who loves snugs.
DID YOU KNOW? Cardigan Corgis have a Viking heritage and were originally bred to herd cattle - this explains their fearless nature and their short legs (which allows them to duck and weave around kicking hooves).
Our Draxy boy AKA Sir Biffy-Bits AKA Master Bifsalot AKA Dr Biff may not have any cattle to herd, but he can often be found rounding up our other dogs and generally keeping good order.
BONNY
Bonny is our pedigree Cardigan Corgi bitch. She was born in June 2022. She is also a tricolour black and white with brindle point Cardigan, hailing from a similar calibre of Cardigan Corgi heritage as our boy Drax.
We named her after the infamous Anne Bonny the real-life pirate and she has most definitely lived up to the name. Equal parts mischievous and cute, she has a way of inviting the others on grand adventures that often leave her making solid use of her big puppy eyes to avoid getting into too much trouble.
True to her Corgi nature, she can often be found keeping Drax in line, nipping at our heels and generally being cute AF.
WHY ARE OUR CORGIS NOT TAN? if you are thinking that the colouring of our chonks looks unusual, it’s likely that you have only come across their cousins the Pembroke Corgis AKA the Queen’s Dogs. Cardigans are slightly bigger, musclier, have bigger front paws and are more frequently differently patterned than the Pembrokes.
