In ancient times, dogs of the Welsh Corgi Cardigan breed perfectly mastered the shepherd's "art", skillfully guiding large herds of cattle in the right direction. They did it in a very peculiar way - they imperceptibly crept up to the cow, made a light bite on one of the limbs and jumped back to a safe distance with lightning speed.
A bit of history
The Welsh Corgi Cardigan is an old British breed of herding dogs, whose homeland is considered to be the highlands of South Wales. The first mentions of the Welsh Corgi date back to the 10th century, there is also a beautiful legend that these cute dogs once served as cabbies for the elves, and therefore on their faces you can see characteristic white spots, supposedly left over from a magic harness.
