  • Flynn, an AKC Corgi, passes his herding instinct exam, Nov 2016
    Some people think corgis are slow and cuddly but they actually have tons of energy and are very bossy/stubborn (as well as cuddly). Not all of them are natural farm helpers, but it's fun to watch the ones that figure it out. Enjoy!
    Please note that the sheep are trained to handle the test and there is someone in the ring at all times ensuring the safety of both the dog and the sheep.

    2:23 He's herding three, but when one gets separated, watch how his head whips to the left for a second, like "That wasn't supposed to happen."

    Thanks for this video. It took him a minute but once his instinct kicked in he was awesome! They are the most incredible breed. Also love the Cardigans. There's nothing like a Corgi...they are my heart❤

      Corgis are actually bred short specifically to avoid being kicked by cattle, and docked also to avoid farm hazards. So corgis are corgis precisely because they are cattle dogs.

      My thoughts exactly. He was just chasing them, not herding them. He split them constantly (which a dog with good herding instinct won't do) and then went off and chased the sheep who split off- not to get it back with the rest, it was just jos hunting instinct kicking in, making the seperated sheep get further away from the flock.
      There's a difference between a dog chasing and a dog herding. This was chasing. He can probably be trained and shaped into herding, but I would hardly consider this dog good prospect when there's dogs who do better with the same conditions.
