I always love to learn new facts about dog breeds, especially little known facts, so I thought that I would start this thread to expand my brain, lol.
Alright I guess I will start...
Pembroke Welsh Corgis:
1) Corgis have webbed feet like a lab or a golden retriever.
2) They LOVE water and going swimming!
3) In many Welsh fairytales, their job was to act as tranportation for fairies and pixies, who rode them like horses.
4) In the 1960's the first corgi earned a Shutzhund title, which included jumping over a 40 inch jump while carrying a 1 1/2 pound dumbell, he went on the earn a Shutzhund II title
5) In Wales when private farms were taken away and community farms were set up, corgis did what is called reverse herding. Instead of keeping the livestock bunched together, they would spread them out while still keeping them seperate from other farmer's livestock. This way, the farmers would not loose grazing land to other farms, but would still keep their herd together.
I think that's it for now.
Anybody else...
