Corgis Enthusiastically Help Mom with 'Barn Chores' & Clearly Understand the Assignment

Many dogs will thrive in all kinds of environments, but living on a farm has to be especially fun for them. Sure, there are plenty of dogs out there who just need a comfy couch and a nearby park to hang out in when the mood strikes, but then, there are those who are truly living by being out in the country. Having so much space to run free and enjoy the fresh air, making friends with the other animals who live on the farm — it sounds like a dream come true, whether you're a dog or a human, to so many of us. 

These Corgis in the video below certainly seem to be the kind of pup who are at their happiest on the farm with a job to do. They're practically running the place themselves! Take a look: 

On Saturday, October 19, @mommyfarmer shared this video of her two Corgi pups, Bogey and Scout, helping her with her morning barn chores... and by "helping," I mean they're actually running the show.

First thing in the morning, they were ready to go, waiting patiently by the front door for the moment they got to zip off onto the yard. They walked around saying good morning to all the birds on the farm, from ducks to turkeys to chickens, and then it was time to greet the pigs (Bogey really seems to have some beef with them, judging by all those barks). 

Once the goats were awake — something Bogey once again made sure of with more of those barks — the boys were off to run around some more. These two really do seem to be living the life!

Are Corgis Farm Dogs? 

There's a reason that Bogey and Scout look so in their element on the farm: Corgis are actually known as herding dogs, so they've been bred to thrive and even work in that environment. 

As the American Kennel Club (AKC) points out, Corgis are bred to herd cattle, and are one of the most popular breeds to do so. Despite their little legs and short stature, they're surprisingly strong dogs, and can keep up with livestock with the best of them! 

Today, many Corgis aren't actually herding anybody, and they're likely perfectly happy even if they aren't. But they do love having a job to do, so you may be surprised at how quickly your Corgi takes to training. 

If only we could all have a farm life like the one Bogey and Scout have. I'm more of a city girl, but even I wouldn't be able to resist a morning routine that involves greeting so many animals like theirs does!
