Corgi

Corgis were bred to be herding dogs, back in the agricultural areas of Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire in Wales. There, farms were situated on rocky hills, with less than fertile soil and rough weather. A tough breed of cattle was developed to cope with these harsh conditions, and the terrain made fencing them in inpracticle. The cattle were uncivil animals, and had a propensity for kicking larger dogs that attempted to herd them. A shorter, tough dog was needed to handle the job, and so corgis came to be, theorized to be related to dachshund, Scandinavian spitz breeds including the vallhund.
