Lancashire Heeler proportions vs Corgi?

The Lancashire Heeler is said to be the result of drovers crossing their Corgis with the Manchester terrier.

Depending on Prembroke or Cardigan, Corgies should be 10-12 o 10.5-12.5 inches at shoulder. Lancashires should be 12 a shoulder ideally. In the pictures I've seen, the Lancashire looks to have slightly longer legs. Is this an optical illusion because the dogs are a bit lighter in build? (Which I don't even know if they are a lighter build, can't find any weight mentioned in standard) Are most Corgies actually right at the 10 inch mark or below?

Update:

you realize you just repeated what I already said. I understand what the standard is, however height at shoulder is just one facet of proportion. I asked about leg length not overall height, and weight in so far as it affects leg length. I suppose another factor would be overall body length as far as the Lancashire's legs looking longer.

    both types of corgi are in the 10 inch mark. cardigans can be 10-13 inches though. the lancashire heeler in proportion to the corgi is the same being in the 10--12 inch mark.
