<p><span> I want to adopt two eventually. Was recommended to get them from separate litters and not at the same time. Is it better to get a boy or girl first? I have a cat, does it matter with male vs female Corgi?</span></p>

<p>The problem started since she was three months old but we decided it was just a puppy behavior that could be trained with positive reinforcement and yummy treats. Well, she kept on eating everything in the park (specially soil and barks). It is a strange behavior because she only does it as soon as she see other dogs in the park. When we are in the park alone she listens to me and any attempt to eat anything, she is very good at dropping it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I have already change her food twice (always making sure to consult this with the vet), we take her 4 times out to the park, train her inside the house, give her lots of attention and love. She is very well behaved inside the house and she is incapable of eating anything without our consent.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway, I am very concerned and I am scared that one of these days she will eat something that could put her life in danger. It would be very helpful if you can advise me or tell me if this is a common behavior or if there is something I can do. </p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I know right now is not a good time to be looking for a Corgi pup. I know I should have started this search long before Christmas but nothing I decide to do is ever easy. My baby girl is 7 years old. I am wanting to get another pup. However the breeder I got Maggie from is no longer breeding puppies and has pretty much said good luck in finding one. Little did I know what was meant by that.....I have never had such a hard time. I have searched all over Tx and I am so thankful I know what a purebred looks like as SOME (not all) of the websites (breeders) I have looked at don't really look like Pembrokes and really....blue merle for a pembroke.....I can't believe people are doing that. Alot of the websites have a 2 to 3 year waiting list. Anyway I am wondering if anyone knows of any good breeders in Oklahoma and Louisiana near the Tx border. I'm willing to drive no more than 300 miles and honestly after hearing the horror stories of people having puppies shipped I just don't want to go that route. Also if there are any breeders you may know of in Tx that may not have a huge website or may not get alot of advertisement please let me know. I am looking for a female red or sable or red headed tri. I am even willing to adopt one but no older than 2 years.

He doesn't think that the animals will ever get along and that it's a hopeless case.<br />

Hi!<br />
I have 2 Corgis (One male, one female both 4 yrs old, same litter). I'm trying to move in with my boyfriend who has 2 cats (both male, 12 yrs old, same litter).<br />
<br />
He doesn't think that the animals will ever get along and that it's a hopeless case.<br />
<br />
My female Corgi, Ziggy, does not ever participating in running and chasing at home right now. My male, Cash, will chase because he follows what the other dogs do.<br />
<br />
Neither of them have ever seen a cat. Cash sometimes will participate in chasing squirrels with the big dogs. He has a good recall and when he starts running, I can call him back to me very quickly.<br />
<br />
The 2 cats have never lived with a dog. As I don't have as much experience with them, I've been told that the larger one doesn't like dogs and swats them. They do not have claws though. They are indoor cats.<br />
<br />
My dogs sleep with me, and are my little partners in crime.<br />
<br />
I'm in dire need of as much advice on how to make this work. It's such a sensitive subject in my relationship!<br />
<br />
Should I introduce one dog at a time? Or both at the same time?<br />
<br />
I know this topic has been discussed, but they're typically introducing Corgis at as pups. Has anyone had any experience with introducing cats and dogs at an older age rather than as puppies/kittens?

She also doesn't track thrown objects or walking people at all any more, beyond what you would expect from vision loss. She has no concept that things will continue to travel in…</p>

<p>Well, through no fault of the vets we know no more now than we did before. Madison has so much going on. She has other neurological symptoms besides the back end. She has some mild tremors around her head, and she has pretty noticeable head twitches when she relaxes. She also doesn't track thrown objects or walking people at all any more, beyond what you would expect from vision loss. She has no concept that things will continue to travel in the direction they were already going and actually loses track of us on walks-- when she is on a leash no less. So we are most likely looking at a combination of things. Whether it's brain issue + arthritis or brain issue + arthritis + DM is impossible to say. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We are starting her on fish oil for its anti-inflammatory effects, and milk thistle for liver support due to her seizure meds. We are also going to try a harness with a handle so we can help her if she gets wobbly on walks. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>We are worried about our Madison.<br/> <br/> About a year and a half ago, she had some seizures and we started her on seizure meds. Predictably, she was a bit unsteady on her feet when she started them. However, she never completely returned to normal function and I wasn't entirely happy with how she was doing. The seizures were under control, but she didn't move quite the way she used to.<br/> <br/> The problem improved to a new baseline, but then last summer she started getting worse. She was a bit reluctant to walk at times and had some trouble with steps. She had a thorough workup at the vet. I was leaning towards something neurological, but the vet seemed to think orthopedic. Maddie's nails were wearing more on the right rear and right front from not picking up her feet correctly and x-rays showed arthritis in her hip and spine. She passed the foot flip test, correctly righting her feet when her toes were turned under.<br/> <br/> We started her on Metacam as needed and that helped a bit for awhile, but over winter we noticed some things I don't like. Her back end seems very unstable, far out of proportion to any pain she may have. I have had dogs with bad arthritis before and she does not move like an arthritic dog (she isn't starting stiff and working out of it, or being careful). She will tip over and get right back up with a grin on her face, or confusion, but never pain. She runs diagonally instead of forward, as if she doesn't know where her hind end is.<br/> <br/> She started wearing her nails worse once we walked on pavement after the snow melted. I e-mailed her breeder to see if she had any experience with nail caps and got an answer that I was not hoping to hear: Maddie's litter brother is showing early signs of DM.<br/> <br/> All the pieces clicked into place. I suppose it COULD be severe arthritis compressing the nerves in her spine yet not giving her much pain. It can happen that way. But the other day I did the foot flip test again and Maddie failed miserably. Bend her back paw under and she makes no effort to right it. She just stands on her knuckles. The right leg is worse than the left; sometimes she will correct the left and sometimes she won't, and the left nails are not wearing.<br/> <br/> We have a vet appointment on Saturday. We may learn more than.<br/> <br/> The bright side is that she is happy, bright, eager to do things, excited about treats, and still interested in her toys and barking and hopping after other dogs. She is sweet, upbeat, and loves being handled so if it comes to it, she would be a good candidate for a cart.<br/> <br/> But she is only 10, and a young 10 at that.</p> Corgi Hair Problemtag:mycorgi.com,2014-11-16:1150197:Topic:18931812014-11-16T03:52:30.450ZAngela Kau-Forsberghttp://mycorgi.com/profile/AngelaKauForsberg
<p>Not the usual kind either. I was curious, am I the only one with a corgi who has hair that actually gets stuck in your skin? I've had them embedded in my foot and I actually had one embedded in my thigh today. Does Saber just have a super strong top coat or has this happened to anyone else?</p>

<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>This has got to be the worst week, ever. My 12 month old son has been getting hives that I had thought to be related to our Corgi boy, Rowdy. Every time my son was licked on a hand or the face, hives started appearing, and now after allergy testing, my worst fear has been realized that along with nuts and milk..a Dog allergy. ):<br/> <br/> I always thought that if I had a child allergic to dog, we would find ways to work something out, but my son's hives are getting progressively worse and his eyes are now getting swollen and involved..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am sure you all know the Corgi's need to have a job and be part of the family, so the thought of isolating Rowdy from my son, when they both love each other so much, is cruel to both of them. ): And we are not allowed to have outside dogs on Base, not to mention the temperatures in Yuma can get up to 110+ in the summer.</p>
<p><br/> So here we are..<br/> <br/> Rowdy is a 3 1/2 year old Neutered tri-colored pem. We got him very young from a corgi breeder, and it states in our puppy contract that if we cannot find a suitable new home for him, we have to return him to the breeder, and that is what we plan to do if we can't find a great home. But first, I wanted to see if any of you all who know the breed were interested. I am afraid many people will be interested in him because of how irresistibly adorable he is, and not realize how stubborn the breed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rowdy lives up to his name 110%! In fact, he is the most playful dog I have ever been around. He loves to hike and go to the dog park. His best friends have been labs in the past, but he doesn't like big dogs that are rude and greet him face first before sniffing his booty. (: He will snap at a dog (Never bitten one though) at the park that gets in his face. The big dogs don't care much because he is such a shorty.. haha. Little dogs he has never had any problem with. He lived with an older cat for 2 years, and they did great. Loved to herd the poor guy, though!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is on Wellness Whitefish and Sweet potato due to food allergies.. This dog cannot be on commercial dog food unless you are willing to deal with vomiting and vet bills! The 30lb bag is roughly 38-40, and it lasts about a month or so. He was previously on blue buffalo, but we had to switch due to a developed allergy.. He is doing FANTASTIC on the Whitefish and sweet potato, though. (:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He isn't the MOST well behaved.. He knows "Get out" "Get in your crate" "Get down" "Sit" "Lay Down" "Shake" "Go Potty".. Pretty much he gets what you are trying to say.. He is a really wonderful dog. ): He loves my son and is a great guard dog. He will go for his heels sometimes, which is a herding instinct.. So probably older kids that will be able to tell him "Uh Uh" when he tries to do that will be best, as he doesn't go for any adult's heels. A few months ago we had someone try to break in while we were away, but they left the door knob hanging off, probably because Rowdy has such a mean, large dog sounding bark. (:<br/> <br/> We keep him out of the crate all day, even when we leave. He hasn't ever messed with anything in the house but his bones and hooves since his puppy stage long ago, and has never had an accident in the house since puppyhood. We let him out throughout the day.. He loves to dig after the gophers and lay in the sun. He will bark at people who walk by the fence, but mostly he isn't all that bark happy. The exception is he hates vacuums and will bark at those!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is up to date on all shots, even kennel cough.. Just got him shots 2 weeks ago.. His rabies is good for another year. He is micro chipped because we are military, but honestly.. I don't know much about changing that sort of information, the base made us do it when he was a pup.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is really loving, but very mouthy. He makes a growling noise when he wants you to pet him.. Some people think it is mean sounding, but he is really just 'talking' and complaining. He will DEMAND pets if he doesn't get them right away! He sees my husband as the pack leader, and likes to cuddle with me.. I think he would bond well with a female. He has been around two other corgis briefly, and loves to FRAP around. (: He does jump on people.. Not me and my husband, because I turned my legs away, but he will do it if you don't teach him that you are not to be jumped on. He likes to lay on furniture, but will move when asked. Great listener, loves to work for food. He has 1 dewclaw that has been removed twice, but keeps growing back. (: He is such a goofball!<br/> <br/> He weighs 32lbs, the vet wants him to get to 30.. But after our cat passed, he was a bit depressed and got to 35lbs! So he is getting back into shape!<br/> <br/> Rowdy and I have been through a lot.. Two deployments, a pregnancy, helping entertain my son with his antics. (: It breaks my heart to have to choose between my son and my best friend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is the DESTROYER of stuffed toys! Don't even bother.. Unless you want to watch him demolish them for sport. He can destroy one in seconds flat..! So we just give him the flavor stuffed real bones and hooves and pig ears.. Things he can ingest. He isn't big on rawhide.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So yeah, if anyone is interested, please let me know. If you have questions, please let me know as well.</p>
