Introduction
Cardigan Welsh Corgi Dog Names in Pop Culture
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a small breed of dog, originating from Wales in the UK. The Corgi is known to be a favorite pet of Queen Elizabeth II, but there is more than one type of Corgi breed. There is one simple way to tell the difference between the two: the Cardigan Welsh Corgi has a tail, whereas the Pembroke does not. A lot of sources talk about the features of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi being fox-like, especially with their bushy tail and pointed ears. They really are a beautiful breed of dog.
In popular culture, there are a couple of Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s that appear in TV or movies. A pooch named Zwei appears in an American animated web series called RWBY (pronounced ruby). Zwei belongs to Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao-long and proves to be valuable in combat.
The spotlight name for this guide is Edward, inspired by the Cardigan Welsh Corgi who appears in the 1988 movie, The Accidental Tourist. Edward belongs to a business travel guide writer from Baltimore, named Macon Leary. The story is about Macon trying to carry on with his life following the murder of his twelve-year-old son. His marriage soon breaks down and Macon is left dealing with his unruly Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Edward. He meets animal hospital worker, Muriel Pritchet, who he enlists to put Edward through some much-needed obedience training. Eventually, the two fall for one another. Although Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s don’t have a history, of match-making, in this case, Edward is certainly responsible for bringing them together. .
Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s are quite active and athletic. They love the outdoors and need regular mental and physical activity. This means plenty of walks and agility are required for your new pooch. Obedience training is great for this breed as their intelligent minds need to be kept active, just like Edward in The Accidental Tourist. They also need plenty of love and affection too.
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi was first recognized by the American Kennel club in 1935 and they are ranked as the 69th most popular breed in America. The American Kennel Club notes them to be smart, affectionate, and loyal. Edward was smart enough to bring Macon and Muriel together with some Cardigan Welsh Corgi charm, after all. Never underestimate this breed!
Cardigan Welsh Corgi Name Considerations
When choosing a name for your Cardigan Welsh Corgi, there are lots of considerations to make. They are available in a variety of colors, including black, sandy, red and brown. Color could certainly be used as inspiration when naming your new pooch. For instance, Sandy is a popular name for this breed.
Their appearance is fox-like, so the breed's fox-like features may inspire you. Names like Tails and Swiper are suggested in the name lists below. Swiper is the fox from the animated children’s TV show, Dora the Explorer, and Tails is the best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog and appears in the animated TV series of Sonic, as well as the video game. There are many other famous foxes to consider if you feel inspired by the Corgi’s appearance. TV fox puppet, Basil Brush, for instance, and Roald Dahl’s novel, "Fantastic Mr. Fox", can provide further inspiration.
This breed is said to be energetic, so a name like Flash could also be a suitable choice. Let’s not forget that the Cardigan Welsh Corgi originates from Wales, so a name of Welsh origin could also be a great place to start, like Drystan or Carys. Check out the list below and select the names you like for your new four-legged friend!
