3 facts about the Corgi
Fact #87
General
The Corgi is a cattle-herding dog; their short stature helps them avoid being kicked.
Fact #88
General
'Corgi' is widely believed to come from the Welsh 'cor gi,' roughly 'dwarf dog' — a fitting name for a breed built low to the ground specifically to duck under a kicking cow's hooves.
Fact #89
General
Corgis are herding dogs at heart, which means a Corgi with nothing to herd will sometimes nip at ankles or try to round up the kids — the job instinct doesn't just switch off because there's no cattle around.
