<p>I saw a movie when I was 8 that had a Corgi as one of the main characters (Murder She Purred: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery). I thought the dog was just the cutest and the personality the gave him was not only highly amusing, but something that I would expect from my own pet dog! So, of course, I wanted that dog. I never knew what breed it was until my friend, when I was 13, asked me if I liked Corgis. I was like, "WTF is a Corgi?" and he showed me a picture. Of course, I lost it. I had…</p>

I had finally found the type of dog from that movie! Awesome. </p>

<p>At the time I wanted a dog, I lived in an apartment and as a single owner, I wanted a dog that I could lift by myself. So I looked for dog breeds between 20-40 lbs. (although I have since gotten Lilo who is closer to 50+ lbs, whom I can barely lift and she is really my max) I grew up with a Pomeranian and while he was cute, I always thought he was too small and I wanted a dog that was more energetic but if it had enough walks, it could manage life in an apartment.

I started going down the dog breed list and looked up pictures. I owned a rabbit, so I wanted a non-hunting breed. A dog that would learn to respect other animal species and not be as strongly motivated to hunt a rabbit, and I liked the independence of the herding breeds and when I stumbled on Pembroke Welsh Corgi, I fell in love with the foxy look, the big ears, the quirky personality and the intelligence. It's funny though... I've watched a lot of anime (the top 200 anime - I've seen most of them) and yet I had never watched cowboy bebop. </p> Its funny how these little on…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-04-22:1150197:Comment:15140242012-04-22T21:40:10.457ZKitty The Doghttp://mycorgi.com/profile/KittyTheDog

<p>For the longest time my parents would do scavenger hunts for certain holidays if I got something like a bike, or something a little big to be wrapped ^_^ it was great fun! I don't suggest of course giving pets as gifts but this one was a tady different =D as it was a family agreement ^_^ miss those good times, she was the cutest puppy! Now she's the baby of the house.</p>

<p> I wanted to adopt a dog in need of a good home and went on Petfinder to try to find an "ideal" match in terms of size, activity level, personality and other factors. </p>
<p> I was about to adopt a Portuguese Water Spaniel when someone stepped in and adopted her first! Not long afterwards, two other suitable matches from the same local shelter popped up--a Tibetan Terrier and a Corgi Mix. </p>
<p>I thought about it for a few days and decided to say "yes" to "Corgi madness." </p>

<p>After having dachshunds and collies plus mutts growing up I wanted a dog all my own when I was younger. Me being a major dog fan, I decided to start researching breeds and made a huge dog book during after school hours. This dog book had over 800 printed pages of pictures, information about then and more which took alot of my time in 6th grade. When I came across the Corgi breed it struck me as adorable!

<p>After having dachshunds and collies plus mutts growing up I wanted a dog all my own when I was younger. Me being a major dog fan, I decided to start researching breeds and made a huge dog book during after school hours. This dog book had over 800 printed pages of pictures, information about then and more which took alot of my time in 6th grade. When I came across the Corgi breed it struck me as adorable! So I gathered information and started looking at videos and showing my parents that I really wanted a Corgi. Of course their answer was "NO!" for about 2 and a half years. Never giving up I still asked probably monthly for one lol. Waking up on Easter morning to find this little egg on the couch I had to read 14 peices of paper that were little "tickets" that told me I wasn't a winner....tapped to the bottom one said I was a winner of a pembroke welsh corgi puppy of my choice, and I got to pick it out. That day we looked in the paper and saw Corgi puppies and we called about them. Only 6 weeks old so we went out the next day to put down money on the one I picked which was a little female. Slowest 2 weeks ever! When we got her I already knew what to name her which was Joanna Jo Levesque (after the pop singer I loved at the time) over time that turned into Kitty more so as a nickname then Jojo ^_^ nothing better then that Easter! To this day I still own that little ticket which I got almost 6 years ago :)</p> I always liked big dogs but w…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-04-21:1150197:Comment:15132782012-04-21T21:08:15.676ZBethhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Beth306
<p>I always liked big dogs but when I developed arthritis I knew I could not handle a dog over 35 or 40 pounds. My husband and I got a book on how to pick the breed for you and as I went through, I was beginning to despair over the lack of small dogs with a big-dog personality type when I got almost to the end and found "Welsh Corgi, Pembroke." I'd never heard of them but my British husband had. Since herding dogs are my favorite personality type it was perfect. They scored a 9.5 out of 10…</p>

<p>I had never heard of or seen a Corgi until one wandered onto the horse ranch! His quirky little personality stuck with me and wanted one for myself ever since. Everyone that meets mine love them as well, they have converted many people into Corgi lovers! :) (...and to think I used to be a cat person... Lol)</p>
