Jane-I have a book I picked up at PetSmart a few months back called "Welsh Corgis" and there is a section in there called "the Stubby Herder" that talks about herding with Corgis. One paragraph explains that, "The PWCCA and CWCCA both offer herding instinct test to help determine if a Corgi has the instinct to work with livestock. The test is called HIC, Herding Instinct Certificate.
However a couple of pages over, it shows one Corgi chasing some sheep and has gotten a death grip on the sheep's hind leg! The caption notes that "Corgis may nip at the livestock, but should not grip it with their teeth." The photo beside that shows a R/W definitely has that leg in his teeth. I suppose it just takes training and practice as they all are different.
