<p>Sometimes. There is a breeder in Norway among whose titled dogs can trace their lineage to two bitches who were never shown, but had the soundness and build desirable in Cardigans. Sometimes it's just a matter of having the "eye" for it yourself, and not necessarily dragging the dog through shows!</p>

<p>Hehe... I read this post and actually laughed a little. I totally understand your comment - but I've been guilty of pulling the champion card. <strong>Not</strong> to describe looks, mind you. Actually in our house it's more of a pejorative. When people ask us why Killian is such a snob we answer "because he's from champion lines and thinks he's better than everyone else." :-)</p>

<p>I took Dixie to an outdoor fair kind of event once, and she got loads of attention. She loved every second of it, but I just got more and more frustrated with people asking me, "so what is she mixed with? she's obviously not a REAL corgi!" Don't people understand that dogs are individuals, just like people? And why would I care if she's a mix, anyway... she's my family, not a status symbol.</p>

<p>I always get "Look at those skinny corgis!" I just smile and say, actually they are very fit. Most corgis you see are actually overweight." Baxter is 13.5 inches at the withers and kind of short bodied, while Ziggy is much shorter than him and long bodied. They are an odd pair but actually true siblings.</p>

<p>I always feel bad when people ask "Is he a welsh or a corgi?" It's like they know enough to almost know the name. Then I have to explain exactly like you did. Just awful, especially if she owns them and works at a vet. =(</p>

<p>I have PWC classifieds on my computer and look every now and then. Just saw a person who wants a "free corgi puppy" that must be shipped if it is too far away. </p>
<p>Come on! What kind of person would want their dog to go to a person like that? I'm looking for a puppy later in the year, and my requirement is that they must be close enough so I can drive to pick the puppy up. And I'm pretty sure paying a little more for a puppy that's close is way less expensive (not to mention safe)…</p>

<p>Oh, and the people that are looking for unaltered females for the purpose of breeding and post on these sites are as equally frustrating.

<p>Yes you did. I imagine some people were considering getting into breeding and your requirement would be pretty good education for them. After you answer their question on the requirement, I imagine they probably think it would be too much work and kill the idea :)</p>
