Short-legged herding dog (5)
I believe the answer is:
corgi
'short-legged herding dog' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for corgi that I've seen before include "Pre-2018 royal dog" , "Little dog" , "Toy car manufacturer" , "Barker?" , "Royal canine" .)
