Corgis are excellent dogs for cow herding!

Corgis might be one of the cutest dog breeds around, but for centuries they were used for herding cattle. In fact, their small stature was bred into them for that purpose.

The dog's body was designed to be too low for a cow to kick. This made them more useful than a collie or a larger dog at driving cattle across long distances.
