"Tad"
Favorite and Long lost friend of the family Tad, seems to me he was a crossed-breed specie between an "askal" local dog and an originated and imported Welsh Corgi breed of dog. I have been fascinated by this dog because of his cuteness and little compactness of his body.
A Standard Welsh Corgi Breed
The Welsh Corgi Pembroke, a favorite of British royalty, has worked in South Wales at least since the time of the Domesday Book, instigated by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. Its job was to control the movement of cattle by nipping their ankles, which is an inherent characteristic that many protectors of the British royal family have discovered to their cost. The breed may have been introduced to Wales by Flemish weavers who settled in the area and crossed their own dogs with local stock. Corgis are extremely active and devoted little dogs, and are usually good with children. They make fine guards, and excellent show and obedience dogs. They have a tendency to put on weight if under-exercised, and their water-resistant coats need daily brushing.
