Cardigan Corgis in Wales: It's Time to Get Your Weekend Documentary On

So mom decided that since it's Saturday and Saturdays are for vegging, she'd get all PBS (public TV)-like and treat all our visitors to a cool video about Cardigan Corgis in Wales.  Yeah, actually *in* Wales, and not like 500 years ago or anything, but *last month*. It's extra cool to us because they (our Welsh peeps) are all muddy and running through muck and green fields after a bunch of barn animals. And one lucky dwarf even gets a full-body rub-down for practically the entire video. (We want to go to that place.)

Oh, and Jon Farleigh says there's a mention of his dad Sam's Kennel Yardican in there, which obviously means he's famous.

Enjoy and happy blog-hopping. :)



P.S. No you are not crazy; the video is in a language called Welsh (which we can't speak, but can bark). We think the video is worth watching anyway. Hey, if you can speak Welsh, will you tell us what the heck those men are saying?

P.P.S. Mom says here's some stuff she posted yesterday about Cardigan Corgis being endangered in Wales.

Think you'll find many Cardigan Corgis in their native Wales?

The answer is surprisingly no.  However, a few Mid Wales farmers are hoping to change that.

I'm breaking from my usual post M.O. today to reblog from mycorgi.com the following (brief) article, which recently appeared in the Daily Post North Wales.
An interesting bit of ancient dog breed history!
