The Corgi were bred for sheep/cattle herding. In fact, some are still used in Wales as herding animals. A pet Corgi will show this skill as well. I had a friend who bred them and when her children were young the Corgi she had would herd her children in the back yard. They are very good at this skill.
As an aside: At one time, I lived in a household with five (yes, five) cats and one Australian shepherd. The dog would herd the cats from room to room, and back again, on a regular basis.

Are pembroke Welsh corgi good with children?
Pembroke Welsh Corgis love people. Mine especiaally loves children. They do have a tendency to nip at people's heels, but this is generally an attempt to herd them (they are a breed of heelers), not an act of aggression. If addressed early, they can be easily trained out of it. Like many small dogs, they have a tendency to want to jump up on people, and must be trained not to do this . . . especially since the average corgi's front paw will be right at kneecap level when they jump. Corgi's love people and form a particularly strong bond with their family members. They can be stand-offish to strangers if they are not socialized often but generally are very social animals.

For a start, they're different breeds. If you mean looks-wise, the dachshund comes in six varieties; shorthiared, longhaired, wirehaired, miniature shorthaired, miniature longhaired, and miniature wirehaired (none of which look anything like corgis apart from the similar height). Corgis come in two varieties; cardigan and pembroke. The ears of a corgi are pointed, whereas dachshund ears flop. The dachshund snout tends to be longer than the corgi's. As for their origin, dachshunds are German and corgis are welsh. As for their uses, dachshunds were originally bred as hunting dogs to flush badgers out of their dens, hence the size. Corgis, however, were originally bred as cattle drovers. That's as much as I can remember off the top of my head :P
