• As for the Herding, I think Raina’s justifiably always on Team Corgi (Pembroke over Cardigan), but I bet she’d agree that just about anything would be more interesting than the German Shepherd, whom she characterizes as sneaky-looking, lurking about like he just stole someone’s wallet…

1. Team Corgi, all the way. Here’s why - in my head? One day? I am going to be the Queen of England, in that I will have six Pembroke Corgis who will follow me around my giant garden.* In this fantasy, I am a) not asthmatic and b) Corgis don’t throw their coats in one giant wad once a year. Nope.
2. Every German Shepherd in the world has, at minimum, three lifted wallets somewhere on his/her body at all times. I am pretty sure I read an abstract of a study in Nature that confirmed this. 

* - Okay, yes. That is Helen Mirren, not Elizabeth II. But that is exactly what is going to look like.
