Pictures of the Michigan Corgi meetup Izzy, Katie and the group that came...When and where would you like the next meet? I was thinking 18th or 25th of September, and somewhere near Lansing or Saginaw...Any thoughts?
I could do the 25th! I do not have any great ideas on where though. I have only been to the East Lansing Dog Park and it is Ok but nothing special. It is easy to find though. Love the photos thanks for putting them on.
The weekend of the 18th in Saginaw works perfectly for me. I have been living with a family down in Kzoo as the husband has been recovering from 4 brain tumors but i am planning on visiting back home (and being with my husband and kitties) that weekend. I will be at the saginaw dog park on the 18th if anyone wants to meet me there!
Hi Everyone! Next weekend is the dog shows at the MSU Pavilion. Is anyone going? It is a really fun couple of days since there is Agility, Obedience and Conformation all going on at the same time. Saturday corgis are at 8am and Sunday Pems are at 9am and Cardis at 1:30. Hope I see some of you there!
Hi all! My Fi and I will be packing up our herd and heading northbound from Houston TX back to our home state (and my home town of Midland) next week, so I thought I'd pop in and introduce myself so I can keep an ear out for future meetups in our area :) I'm Jo, and my fiance Ken and I have two cardi girls. Emma is 5 and her daughter Ripley is just over a year old now. We can't wait to meet some fellow corgi families in the coming months, but until then we hope you all have a happy holiday season!
Anyone interested in fostering an older overweight corgi girl? please contact me.
@Bev how was the MSU dog show? We had plans and were unable to make it. Hope you had fun. Keep us posted for the next one we love to go to shows!
@ Joanna: Welcome back to MI, we hope to meet you to!
Hi Darlene, Wish I could help with the foster but my husband would kill me! The dog show was lots of fun. The corgis both Cardigans and Pembrokes were really beautiful. I watched a Pem totally blow an obedience trial. It was funny but his mommy did not look too happy. His ADD kicked in half way through and he just started wandering around. Lol. The agility was also great. It is once a year here, two shows, one weekend and I enjoy it. For shows by you go to infodog.com
Yes, I saw them yesterday. Girls 3 & 4 years old. Don't know - might be too soon after MaGuire. But........!! Will have to wait a little longer while I ponder the situation. Would like both of them. Thanks for the update:)
I tried to look the dogs up and couldnt find them on petfinder, also searched thru the west branch humane society, and still nothing. were they adopted?
They were on petfinder yesterday, but I can't find them today either. Look under ochs4paws.org and I think you will see them under available dogs. Hope this helps!!
Anyone in the Michigan area have a Pembroke breeder they would recommend. We had a deposit on a puppy that was suppose to be born the end of December but the mother had complications and none of the puppies survived :( We are willing to travel out of state, so if you know any good breeders, in or around Michigan, please let me know.
I highly recommend Triple Tac Farms, http://www.tripletacfarms.com/. That's where we got Barkley from and he's a wonderful little dog. They breed I think twice a year, and from the website it looks like they're expecting pups next month. They're located in Grand Ledge, MI which is right near East Lansing. Definitely give them a call!
We got Gunner in Ohio from Anne Moore. She is an excellent breeder, in that all her pups live in the house, She doesn't breed her pups frequently. I know she currently has 3 females she is showing, not sure if any are expecting at this time. I can check with her if you would like and if you email me I will send you her number & email. She is in Finley Ohio. Gunner is a great corgi, if I do say so myself...
I have tried to "friend" Millie Williams in Cheboygan, MI who is a member, but did not receive a response. Her profile says she breeds Corgis and she's only 45 minutes aways!! Ya Whoooo!! Anybody know how/how I can reach her??? She may have the Corgi I need!!! Thanks a bunch!! Yes, I tried whitepages.com - nothing!!
yeah I wish spring was coming now !! I was thinking April or May. I would like it to be warm enough that we humans can stand outside and not freeze : )
The end of April sounds great preferably on a weekend. I know my husband and I are more than willing to make the drive just to see Maggie interact with other corgis.
Hi Amy, Triple Tac Farms near Lansing just had a litter of puppies in early February. www.tripletacfarms.com. I definitely think you should give her a call and talk to her if you don't find one closer. My husband and I live in Auburn Hills, and going up to get Barkley wasn't too much of a hike, about an hour and a half I think.
Ok so spring fever is here, and time for a meet up! I was thinking the 23rd of April. Where would people like to meet? I will post after I get some ideas for the date. We have met at 2p in the past, is everyone still ok with that time?
April 23rd at 2pm sounds great. The question is where? I would prefer it to be more on the West side of the state closer to Grand Rapids or Lansing, but I do not know of any specific parks that allow dogs. Any ideas?
There is Shaggy Pines just outside of GR, another park in Grand haven and in Frankenmuth (which may be a bit too far). Those parks would allow for off leash play, There are numerous other parks that would be okay for leashed play.
Laura, I know we have mentioned some closer to Grand Rapids, hopefully we can find somewhere closer to you this time. We are, have corgis will travel :-)
Date and time sound great, and as I said before we are willing to travel. Our Maggie does well either on or off leash so it really doesn't matter. Either way forward the details and we will be there.
Since I was not a part of a meet up last year, I am not sure where most people are coming from. What would be central ground, or where have people met before?
Could there be a possible Sunday corgi meetup? My husband would love to come and Sunday is his only day off. We are in Wayland closer to the Grand Rapids area. Our girls have only been on leashes outside unless in their fenced in area.
Stephanie, I could meet up with you at anytime. I am in GR. My work schedule varies but my husband is a M-F worker, so Sunday's could work. Otherwise, We could schedule a Sunday meet-up closer to here and hopefully others will want to come. :-)
I totally didn't think about Easter on Sunday. I am not sure if that is going to be a problem. For us it will be ok as we are not doing anything else that day. I won't be able to do the following w/e as we are at an all day fine arts festival our son is perfoming in. @Stephanie, we have done Sunday before, so when I post some for the year I will try to make some on a Sunday. Last yr. we tried to do once a month. I was thinking that would be good for this year also. @Laura, we have only been to a fenced in area so the dogs could play off leash. We came from AA, Saginaw, Lansing, Dearborn Heights, Auburn Hills, Hazel Park. We are from all over. We talked last about going to Lansing. I think maybe would could try that in April. I will post in the next few days(after some investigation on the Lansing Area) and if I don't hear of much opposition I will post it for the 23rd. Then the next one on a Sunday somewhere else. Hope this sounds ok to everyone.

We'd be more likely to make it to a Lansing meet-up than a Saginaw meet-up.

I am wondering if any of you have tried dog boots for your corgis with any success. Which brands / styles / sizes / materials seem to be best?
I tried making some homemade from some leather but I couldn't get them tight enough to stay put!
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
