<p>I bet you're so excited to pick her up! I'm glad all is fine and you can get her. It sounds like you made a strong connection and I can't wait for you to bring her home. Make sure to post more pictures :D </p>

<p>Thanks, Natalie. We met up recently with a litter mate of Lucy's but there wasn't that much resemblance between them, however Luigi, her brother, was a beautiful Corgi with the sweetest temperament.</p>

<p>Thanks, Snickmom, for your kind words about Lucy. I'm flattered and you can always share her photo. Glad you're all starting to shake that nasty bug that seems has taken hold of many of my friends. Hugs to all of you. xoxo wendy</p>

Oh my goodness, you have no idea! (...Or wait, you probably do!) I decided to take off early this afternoon and go and get her. (She's about 2 hours away.) I'm all prepared with crate and toys and food and other supplies, and I totally have puppy fever. :) I have a docile shepherd mix and I keep telling him he's getting a sister today, but he has no idea what's in store. I suspect he'll be both delighted and annoyed. ;)<br />
<br />
This is going to be the longest morning ever. E-VER. :D

<p>Thanks for sharing her explanation. Lucy of Lucy & Ricky/Rafa is one of the most beautiful corgis I've met. She has round eyes and is related to the queen's corgis (We aren't supposed to let Lucy know this, however)<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3126234835?profile=original"><img width="400" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3126234835?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400"/></a></p>

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help, and let you know how the conversation with Barb (the breeder) turned out. I used Beth's strategy (thank you! I said it almost word for word!), and it opened up a great candid dialogue. She knew exactly what I was referring to, and had an explanation I never would have thought of.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help, and let you know how the conversation with Barb (the breeder) turned out. I used Beth's strategy (thank you! I said it almost word for word!), and it opened up a great candid dialogue. She knew exactly what I was referring to, and had an explanation I never would have thought of. It turns out has a fondness for English bred Welsh Corgis, and there are a few seminal differences between English preferences and American preferences in the breed. One of them in eye shape - the English lines tend to have more round eyes, while the American lines tend to have more almond shape eyes. This particular pup has English lines not too far back - her grandparents, in fact - and she ended up with a bit more of a round eye shape. Depending on how the little eyeball grows and forms, this sometimes results in a bit more white showing. Sometimes they grow out of it, sometimes they don't, but it has nothing to do with the health of the actual eye. It's just a little thing that shows up sometimes with Corgis with English lines in their pedigrees. To top it off, it is more noticeable in this pup because her 3rd eyelid on the left side is a white hue, while on the right side it's a black hue. I thought that all was really interesting.<br />
<br />
That made me feel a lot better. I trust her, she's been doing this forever, and she really cares a lot about her dogs and her puppies, repeatedly going above and beyond. The pups were checked out by the opthalmologist vet today, and there were no major problems so...I'm picking up my new little girl this weekend!! I couldn't be more excited, and I feel good about the whole thing now. :)<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone here for your help - I'm very grateful!! I can't wait to bring my new little girl home!!
