Argh that's it, you guys have convinced me to contact the nearest herding facility. I'm desperate to get Keeva on stock.
A question for those more experienced in herding: I know that corgis are drovers, as has been discussed, primarily of cattle. So they essentially bossed the cattle around and moved them up roads, to markets, and from pasture to pasture.
Keeva definitely likes to boss around large, moving animals, however, she also shows quite a bit of eye - on other dogs, the cat, and even her toys. It's very noticeable and dramatic; she slams down into a crouch and then creeps up with a hard stare.
Is this abnormal for a drover? Where does this fit in to different herding styles? (Where can I find a book or video that will answer these questions? LOL )

Jinjo is an odd one too, as the ONE time he doesn't make a noisy nuisance of himself is herding the chickens, no idea why, he's just quick, sometimes rushes them a little too much.
Omg I have so much love for this dog.
I just checked youtube for more cardi herding videos and...most of the corgis are super fat. And it made me kinda sad.
Emily - is the level of bark in the video from WelshStump about the same as Keeva's? I sometimes wonder how Tipper measures up against "real" corgis. Lol.

Corgis can stop barking?
And this for reference is what he thinks of Sheep, I have yet to let him back with them after Nigel escaped one day and he tried to help himself to rump roast.

(the first video is cut then goes to the second one, Loo is SO BAD! She loves to taunt the dogs, Nigel's the one with the horns)
