Ah! Most people don't like the Cardigans, they like the flashy Pembrokes instead. I love Cardigans myself. They tend to be more easygoing than Pembrokes, and they're not usually as destructive. Granted, if the dog's line is bred for working, then it's going to want to work, and you'll have to keep up with lots of exercises and training.
As for health, any pure-bred dog is going to have some sort of inbred problems in its line somewhere. The best you can do is buy from a reputable breeder, someone who really cares about the dogs (read: not always for profit), and who will provide you with vet certification that will say that the dog's sire and dam are free from PRD/PRA and von Willebrand disease, and anything else that may be a concern. The best thing you can do for your corgi's back is to keep the dog at a healthy weight. Obesity just creates un-needed strain on an already long and "fragile" back.
That's my input. >>;;
