The differences between the two breeds include bone structure, body length, and size. Cardigans are the larger of the two breeds, with large, rounded ears and a {{convert|12|in|cm|adj=mid|-long}}, fox-like, flowing tail set in line with the body.{{sfn | Boorer| 1975| p=18}} Though the Cardigan is allowed more colors than the Pembroke, white should not predominate in its coat.{{sfn | Cunliffe  | 2000| p=237}} The Cardigan is a double-coated dog where the outer coat is dense, slightly harsh in texture, and of medium length. The dog's undercoat is short, soft, and thick.<ref name="Canis major" /> According to the breed standard, the breed stands between {{convert|10.5|and|12.5|in|cm}} at the [[withers]], and should weigh {{convert|30|-|38|lb|kg}}. The skeletal structure of the Cardigan differs from the Pembroke, in that a more exaggerated bend exists in the front two legs, which fits around the [[ribcage]] of the animal. In addition, the Cardigan is more heavily set than the Pembroke, with denser bone mass.{{sfn | Beauchamp| 1999| p=15}}

A greater number of colours of coat is present in the Cardigan breed than the Pembroke, with the breed standard allowing for a variety of shades of red, sable, and [[brindle]]. White markings are expected on this breed of Corgi, and one with a black coat is allowed to have tan or brindle points under conformation show rules. Merle markings are present in the breed, although this is normally restricted to blue merle.{{sfn | Beauchamp| 1999| p=16}} Several disqualification criteria are used in the breed standard for the purpose of confirmation shows. This would include drop ears, a white coat, blue eyes, or nonsolid black noses in dogs without merle coloration.{{sfn | Beauchamp| 1999| p=17}}
