In this piece, I’m going to talk about the topic of “What Are Cardigan Corgis Used For?,” and in terms of the information that I cover, I’m going to do my best to cover as much territory as I possibly can. I hope you find this discussion interesting!
The Cardigan Welsh Corgi or “the Corgi with a tail” originated in Wales around 1200 BC and is one of the oldest known dog breeds. They were bred for guarding, managing cattle, and vermin hunting Corgis are short and low to the ground to protect them from the kicks of cattle—cow hooves fly right over their heads.
