Two Different and Yet Highly Effective* Corgi Herding Styles (as demo'd by Jon Farleigh and Dewi)

I think this ought to explain it all.
Note: Yes, that's a sheep KID. Just look here and don't have a cow.

Click to enlarge.

*So we haven't actually done this with real sheep, but we saw a really articulate pig (and a Border Collie) successfully herd both ways on TV.

And a bonus:

Dewi and the sheep kid demonstrate why Welsh Corgis were bred with short legs.
Note: This diagram is NOT a joke. I'm serious.


Corgis were bred as cattle drovers (heelers/heel nippers). The short legs were life-saving in that line of work.

They're also really cute.

Have good one, friends!
