http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_Corgi

Corgis are herding dogs, and perform their duties by nipping at the heels; the dog’s low height allows it to avoid being kicked in the process. As herding dogs, corgis work livestock differently than other breeds. Instead of gathering the cattle the way a collie would, by running around the livestock, corgis drive the herd forward by nipping at their heels and working them from behind in semicircles. Seldom giving ground, if an animal should turn and charge, the corgi will bite its nose, causing it to turn and rejoin the herd. Although they specialize in herding cattle, corgis are also used to herd sheep and Welsh ponies.

That’s interesting about the corgi breed. I didn’t know that. I played babysitter to a corgi once but that was my only exposure.
