Happy to find other Washington corgi owners here. :-)

I have a GSD and a cardi. I am a member of a schutzhund club with my GSD and we're holding a AHBA herding instinct test in March of 09 at Ewetopia. This seems to be turning in a corgi event as there are a bunch of cardigans entered. If you are interested you can check it out on line here:

I'm happy to answer questions too.

I hope you weren't meaning "tall tale" as a pun XD Ok sorry I should go crawl back in my homework hole, but I couldn't help myself John. And who knows! I think all dogs can do what ever someone trains them too, though some dogs are certainly smarter than others. A corgi's intelligence I believe would greatly lend itself to hunting of any sort. Though I don't think I would EVER pit a corgi against a bear!

Corgis as hunting dogs?!?
I met a bow hunter at a trailhead in the Cascades once. He remarked on my dog, and said someone he knew used to hunt BEAR -- back when this was legal -- with 4 CORGIS. "Good noses, not afraid, but smart enough to know when to back off." Hard to believe, but that's what he said, and no reason to be making up a tall tale. Hidden talents?

Re: Art Of Racing In The Rain
I had the same opinion of the book as you did John. It was one of the best books I've read in a very long time and yes, you look at your dog a little differently after reading it. It made my heart break and it make my heart soar. A must read.

Book review: Garth Stein, "The Art of Racing in the Rain", 2008
Anybody who's loved a dog will like this book, especially if they're from the PNW. Several creatively mixed elements: part schmaltzy tragic romantic tearjerker, part melodrama with heroes and evildoers, part inspirational meditation, with sudden plot twist and adventure, and... uh... race car driving? Set in Seattle.

Garth Stein, apparently, is a dog.
Already, I'm thinking a little more thoughtfully about our corgwyn...

My best friend is at Western Washington and he loves the Ducks! He even came over and watched the Ducks slaughter the cougars; which entitles him to bragging rights for a whole year.

My dogs bark and stationary objects all the time; mainly mopeds and motorcyles. It cracks me up!

Wilburscoot,

In Pullman, some people have these fake cougar statues on their lawn. Everytime I walk our corgis by them, it always freaks them out and they start barking. Kinda funny-

I live in Washington but must admit am an Oregon alumn and Duck fan! My Corgi also prefers barking at Ducks. I think Huskies or Cougars would frighten him!

John,

While I love the fact that the cougars beat the huskies this past football season, I would TOTALLY switch to any school that had a corgi as their mascot! ha ha. But don't tell anyone; that's like blasphemy over here in Cougar Land!

OK, the Huskies were 0-11 this year? And couldn't even beat a bunch of Cougars!? I think it really is time to change the UW mascot:
