Corgis were originally bred in Wales, specifically as herding dogs. There are two distinct breeds: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Both breeds were developed to help herd cattle and other livestock, utilizing their small size and agility. Their friendly disposition and intelligence have made them popular as companion animals as well.

What is the difference between a Corgi and Dachshund?

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
