The Corgi Huntsman Had a Horn, a Signal and a Very Short Chair
Dark green wallpaper with a damask pattern fills the background, and at the left edge a tapestry curtain hangs in rich red and gold. The Corgi huntsman sits upright in a green coat with gold buttons and a gold-fringed shoulder, a small brass horn pinned to his chest. His white blaze runs between big, alert ears, and his bright eyes watch the room. He has the look of a dog about to give a signal, though the horn is very small and the huntsman is a bit shorter than the chair.
Corgis come in two varieties, the Pembroke and the Cardigan, and the red and white coat is classic for the Pembroke. Both were bred in Wales as cattle herders, which explains the quick reflexes and the habit of nipping at heels. Those instincts can show up with children or guests, so gentle redirection and training from an early age are helpful. Corgis have thick double coats that shed a lot, so a weekly brushing, and more in spring and fall, keeps the house neater. They are smart, active and often loud, with a sharp bark. Because their backs are long, ask your vet about the best exercise and weight for your dog, and avoid high jumps.
The signal has been sounded, and all of the household has been told that dinner is ready. At least, that is what the huntsman believes.
