I just heard on the news today the the famous Pembroke Welsh Corgi may be a breed of the past, within several dog generations due to loss of interest, etc. Here is a small miniature watercolor painting that I have done of one of these cute dogs. I know the value of working dogs as I had a very good stock dog on the family dairy farm. He was actually a Sheltie, he knew each of around 60 Jerseys by scent and name. If one was missing from the herd either he would search for it by the name I gave him or by scent that was missing from the herd. Eventually as he matured out he would bring the herd in by himself, both in the morning and the evening for milking. If nobody was there he became the corral gate to keep them inside until one of us would close the gate. All he required was a nice good dog pet and a scratch behind the ears, and a treat. He was truly my best friend. In honor of the working dog: watercolor miniature 2.5 x 3.5 inches -
