Some believe that these dogs may have descended from Swedish cattle dogs that were brought to Wales by the Vikings in the 9th and 10th century.

有些人認為，這些狗可能是瑞典牧牛犬的後代，而瑞典牧牛犬是在 9 和 10 世紀由維京人帶到威爾士的。

它們是威爾士神話的一部分 根據一個古老的傳說，兩個孩子在田野裡照看家裡的牛群時，偶然發現了幾隻小狗，他們把它們帶回了家。

Their parents told the children that the pups were a gift from the fairies that lived in the fields and that the fairies used them to pull carriages and sometimes to ride into battles.

他們的父母告訴孩子們，這些幼崽是住在田野裡的仙女送給他們的禮物，仙女用它們來拉馬車，有時還騎著它們去打仗。

為了證明這些狗確實是仙女的坐騎，父母指著狗背上的痕跡說，仙女在它們的肩上安了馬鞍。

The children cherished their puppies, which grew up to become treasured companions and learned to help the kids take care of the cattle.
