Our corgi's name is Olive but if we were to have gotten her brother his name was going to be Owen. Good luck with your new baby!

Crate - great choose, brand comes with divider and will fit for all stages of there life, i went with the I-crate model for the two door option which i like better.<br />
<br />
Collar - if you are getting the puppy around 8 weeks, i went with a cat collar (most come with quick release which you want) , because they have such a tiny neck, from there i went to a 10"(ranged from 5-10") both of mine are pretty much grown and where about a 13" collar now.<br />
<br />

<br />
Leash - 6 foot are great to start with for basic walks and basic training. But you will want to get a 24' nylon or retractable down the road to practice their recall command and teach them to walk off lead.<br />
<br />
As for the Ex-pen i wouldn't know, i used a puppy gate that allows them a nice spouse area. If it were me i wouldn't got for the first two. As my girl at 3 month of age was able to jump and climb out of the first baby gate we had that was similar to the first ex-pen link. The second one looks alright. The third one has vertical bars that are spread father apart that would make it really hard for the pup to climb if it ever decided to, like the second one, but the metal one will be more durable and easier to clean if used in or outside.<br />
<br />
Chews - Kongs and antles ( are very safe unlike rawhide and bone and long lasting) are a must in my house, bully sticks(pizzles) are great to but when they get older they go through them so fast and the cost adds up.<br />
<br />
Dishes - stainless steel is great. but best to go with the non tip ones with rubber rim around the base so they don't slip or get pushed around. these are the ones i have and i love them. <a href="http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3436969" target="_blank">http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3436969</a><br />
<br />
Treats - READ READ READ some of the ingredient are just sickening now a days. some of my dogs favorites that are also lean and healthy are Pure bits, wellness jerky, rollover liver bits, apple, banana, carrots.<br />

<br />
Toys - well that is up to you pup to find their favorite and what they like, but i will tell you one thing, make sure they have a few interactive toys, because it will be fun for them but good to their mind and mental stimulation which = a tired and well behaved dog. <a href="http://www.petsmart.com/family/index.jsp?f=Taxonomy%2FPET%2F2767084&categoryId=2767187&lmdn=Dog+Toys&f=Taxonomy%2FPET%2F2767187&fbc=1&fbn=Taxonomy%7CInteractive&fbx=0" target="_blank">http://www.petsmart.com/family/index.jsp?f=Taxonomy%2FPET%2F2767084&categoryId=2767187&lmdn=Dog+Toys&f=Taxonomy%2FPET%2F2767187&fbc=1&fbn=Taxonomy%7CInteractive&fbx=0</a><br />

Food - Like treats read read read..trust your gut and go for the best you can get. I had mine on Innova puppy ( but do no feed Innova Evo line as it is very high in protein for a pup) But i have now switched them to a local adult grain free food. Wellness is good two but Innova has a more appropriate protein level (28%) When some fresh-faced young m…tag:mycorgi.com,2010-07-16:1150197:Comment:7068722010-07-16T17:13:19.692ZJohn Wolffhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JohnWolff92
When some fresh-faced young mom with an adorable toddler stops to admire Al & Gwynn ("Ohhh! They're so CUTE! Are they *friendly*? Can we pet them?") I like to introduce them as "Killer" and "Fang".

Our first corgi had terrible itching problems, creating open sores, which disappeared after my wife put her on a raw meat diet.

In the food they're currently on? Yes, corn gluten meal is the third ingredient listed and whole grain corn is the sixth which is why I've been trying to pick a new food for them to try. For grain-free I'm trying to decide between Taste of the Wild or Canidae but I wonder if Blue Buffalo will be alright. The chicken one has whole ground brown rice and whole ground barley and the lamb has oatmeal, whole ground barley, and whole ground brown rice. It has no corn or wheat though, which I hear are…

The chicken one has whole ground brown rice and whole ground barley and the lamb has oatmeal, whole ground barley, and whole ground brown rice. It has no corn or wheat though, which I hear are the usual allergens. I believe Blue Buffalo isn't quite as expensive as Canidae or Taste of the Wild which is why I'd prefer that, but I'll spend as much as I need to in order to stop the scratching, I feel so bad for her, she's very uncomfortable.

I'd get an opaque crate, more private and den-like. I made a plywood partition to move back as Al grew.<br />
<u>FANNY PACK</u> dedicated for dogwalking only. My #1 suggestion!<br />
7-8" Nike children's basketball (good size, toothproof) or a volleyball, maybe even better.<br />
pocket-sized screw-cap odor-proof container for training treats; prescription pill bottles work well.<br />
Cell phone # on the tag or collar.<br />

If you go to the collar FAQ, there are photos of my modified Martingales, easy slipover on/off (ours never wear collars indoors). I try to make the collars as light as possible and avoid jangling/rattling metal.<br />
Vinegar in a spray bottle; supposed to be good for odors.<br />
Baby gates (watch garage sales) can be handy; make sure pup can't get head stuck between the bars.<br />

I always have 1/2" lightweight nylon webbing around. With a TINY carabiner and an overhand loop, voila! A leash. Make the hand loop big, and you can put a reversible overhand slip knot in it anytime, anywhere. You can put an overhand slip knot anywhere on your leash to shorten it, anytime, and one tug and it's gone when you're done with it.
