Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and for the Chinese Shar-Pei. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Cardigan Welsh Corgi or the Chinese Shar-Pei.
Cardigan Welsh Corgi versus Chinese Shar-Pei: Overview
A very important difference between the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a small-sized dog while the Chinese Shar-Pei is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
On the other hand, the Chinese Shar-Pei belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
Cardigan Welsh Corgi versus Chinese Shar-Pei: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Cardigan Welsh Corgi to the Chinese Shar-Pei based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Chinese Shar-Pei. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is 84 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Chinese Shar-Pei is 68 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a better pet than the Chinese Shar-Pei. So, you should get the Cardigan Welsh Corgi!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 80.5 percent, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 71.0 percent, the Chinese Shar-Pei has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.

Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy or the Chinese Shar-Pei puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.

The Intelligence of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi versus the Intelligence of the Chinese Shar-Pei
| Cardigan Welsh Corgi | Chinese Shar-Pei | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 26 out of 130 dog breeds | 51 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 5 To 15 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Cardigan Welsh Corgi has an obedience intelligence rank of 26 out of 130 dog breeds. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi belongs to the `Excellent Working Dogs` category. This means that Cardigan Welsh Corgis tend to learn new commands after 5 to 15 repetitions.
The Chinese Shar-Pei has an obedience intelligence rank of 51 out of 130 dog breeds. The Chinese Shar-Pei belongs to the `Average Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Chinese Shar-Peis tend to learn new commands after 25 to 40 repetitions.
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is more intelligent than the Chinese Shar-Pei.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Cardigan Welsh Corgi versus Popularity of Chinese Shar-Pei
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Chinese Shar-Pei is more popular with dog owners than the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Chinese Shar-Pei is 60 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is 70 out of about 200 dog breeds.

Health Problems of Cardigan Welsh Corgi versus Health Problems of Chinese Shar-Pei
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Chinese Shar-Pei is prone to more genetic health problems than the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Chinese Shar-Pei than for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
4 health tests are recommended for Cardigan Welsh Corgi while 5 tests are recommended for the Chinese Shar-Pei.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Cardigan Welsh Corgis and in Chinese Shar-Peis.
Cardigan Welsh Corgi Health Problems
Cardigan Welsh Corgis are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Cardigan Welsh Corgi breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Cardigan Welsh Corgis for:

The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Chinese Shar-Peis, and how common these diseases are in Chinese Shar-Peis relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Cardigan Welsh Corgi and in Chinese Shar-Pei and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Chinese Shar-Pei:
| Disease | Cardigan Welsh Corgi Rank | Chinese Shar-Pei Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Degenerative Myelopathy problems | 10 out of 70 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Hips problems | 34 out of 198 dog breeds | 68 out of 198 dog breeds |
| Thyroid problems | 43 out of 115 dog breeds | 80 out of 115 dog breeds |

| Eyes problems | 143 out of 182 dog breeds | 2 out of 182 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
