Welsh corgi
Short-legged cattle dog
A Welsh corgi is a small herding dog with a long body, short legs, and large upright ears.
Two distinct breeds exist: the Pembroke and the Cardigan, both developed in Wales for cattle herding.
Their low stature let them nip at cattle's heels while avoiding kicks.
Corgis became widely associated with Queen Elizabeth II, who kept them throughout her reign.
