Verdict
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier has the cleaner trait edge for apartments. The structured trait data puts Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier ahead on sheds less, kid-friendly, while Cardigan Welsh Corgi stands out for drools less, easier to train. Use the table as the deciding layer: families should compare child and other-dog scores, apartment renters should watch barking and energy, and allergy-conscious households should treat shedding and grooming as separate questions. On the budget model, Cardigan Welsh Corgi is the lighter annual commitment before training, boarding, or vet surprises. Neither profile is a promise about an individual dog; breeder practices, age, training, and daily exercise still matter.
