Hi Doug and Gromit - Did you see my pictures of the Corgi Picnic on WagsnWiggles yet? If so, can you find a way to make a link to them for Arizona Corgis so that everyone can get to see them? I still don't know how to do that yet. Thanks , Frank and Toby.
We had a grand time at the AZ Cactus Corgi Rescue picnic. Gromit went nuts for the fly-ball demo! I actually had to carry him away to get him calmed down. I've never seen him so wound up!
A few pictures from the day:
"You want me to run around like a maniac for a biscuit? Sure!"
Toby begged Frank to buy raffle tickets. It paid off when Toby won a new doggie bed.
It was good fun to meet some MyCorgi friends in person. Hopefully we can all manage a play day before the summer weather arrives.
The rest of the photos from the day are here on Flickr.
Glad you liked the pictures, Frank. It's hard to go wrong when there's a Corgi in the picture! I took a look at yours on WnW and you got some great shots too. It was a fine day!
Hi there! I'm looking for a Pembroke Corgi puppy but am having a hard time finding one in the Phoenix area. I've only been able to find one breeder. Does anyone have any recommendations?
@Agnes, my female Tegan came from a breeder in Whittman, AZ. Here is her website: http://corgicorral.webs.com/. If you check out my page your can see how gorgeous my Tegan is :)
I got my female from a breeder in Show Low.. She is going to be little.. Thats what I was looking for.. Im now looking for a female Tri.. They are hard to find and to find the right one.. I know of another breeder in Kingman www.walker4farms.com they just had a litter of 5 all boys 2 red and 3 tris.. It took me 3 yrs till I found the right one and she is great! Oh I see two in the AZ repub this week. They were red.. good luck! :)
You may not find many choices in the Phoenix only area. There is only a handful of people breeding Pems in the Phoenix area. Most good breeders produce only one or two litters per year. There is a bigger demand for Corgis than there are good Corgi pups so use caution and do your homework on the breeder and on what characteristics makes a good Corgi pup. Sam has some excellent suggestions on locating a reputable breeder and what to look for here.
There are breeders listed on the website for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America, which is the official AKC club for Pembrokes in America. If they don't have pups or have in "in the works" they can refer you to other quality breeders that may not be listed on the PWCCA website.
You could also contact Vicki at Arizona Cactus Corgi Rescue. Besides rescues, Vicki's pretty well connected in the AZ Corgi world.
Good luck on your search, finding just the right Corgi pup can be quite an adventure and finding just the right pup is well worth the effort!
Oh and watch the signs of a breeder not knowing how to spell Pembroke?? And I had one tell me in my search of a black head Tri they send me a pic of a red/white and tell me its going to turn black with age???? You do need to watch what you do.. Take your time..
Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all the feedback. The more options to look into the better and I definitely want to know all I can.
I'm a little concerned about the docking of the tail - is there anything I should look out for when it comes to that; whether the tail should be docked so much that it's not visible, or if a little "stump" is okay? I've seen both quite often.
Agnes, the official breed standard calls for: "Tail-Docked as short as possible without being indented." Some breeders may leave a bit of a nubbie, but not much, as the lack of a tail is one of the trademark points of a Pembroke. It's only actually important if the dog is going to be shown in conformation competition, though. Outside the USA many countries now ban the docking of tails so it's getting more common to see on-line, Pembrokes that still have their tail. And some folks that have Pembrokes with nubs enjoy very much seeing the vestigial wagging of the nubbie. :-)
Like Patricia, I got my Ein girl from Corgi Corral in Whittman. I think Lindsay (the breeder) is great. I keep in contact with her via e-mails, and she loves getting updates on her puppies. She puts a lot of love and care into each litter of pups she produces. I highly recommend her... and it doesn't hurt that her pups are sooooo adorable! I mean seriously, how could I not fall in love with this face?
Hurley has torn her right ACL and is needing surgery. There is the older one, stitching the ligament. And there is a newer one with cutting the bone and placing hardware in the joint. Anybody with experience with this?
Agnes, I am picking Daisie up on Saturday from Bev Mills AKA Clearwater Corgis in Waddell, AZ. I also know that another breeder, Micki Sharp from Shennara Kennels is getting a puppy from her as well.
Daisie comes home tomorrow. It was recommended that she meet 20 dogs and 100 people in the next 4 weeks - however, being a puppy, she isn't fully vaccinated. The trainer suggested looking for nice, fully vaccinated dogs to have playdates with. Anyone interested in a puppy playdate?
That sounds like fun Samantha! I have a six and half month old corgi puppy who is very socialized and LOVES to play with dogs, kids, adults, anyone really. What part of town do you live in? And both my dogs are fully immunized, but I will tell you that I take my puppy to the dog park regularly, so I can't be certain what she has come in contact with while there.
Ah man, that's too bad. We live all the way in the NW Valley where the 101 and I-17 freeways meet, and the transmission in my car is giving me trouble.
Hi!! I am new to the group. I am all for T-shirts but how do we know when there is an event? Jax and I would love to meet local Corgi's. Is there a page with meet times or are they by invite only?
I guess I'm missing something here, Lisa. What info?
In other news...
Welcome to the group, Emily! There's no actual organization here, stuff just happens 'cause someone says "Let's do it!" Where are you at in the Phoenix area? There may be someone closer than you think. Sadly, Gromit and I are not close to anything. :-(
Hi all! Just had a thought. We pamper our pets (i spoil Colbie) but I realize we don't do it that much for ourselves. Why not? We're cute too! haha...so if any of you need help with this, contact me. I'm located in Tucson but I have clients in Phoenix as well. I'm a registered nurse who gives facials and teach skin care classes. Do yourself a favor and learn how to properly take care of your skin before the summer hits. Thanks guys! www.marykay.com/rmreyes
Samantha, I'm going to see if I can go to the Phoenix Pet Expo...just need to get the time off. It looks like a lot of fun and I know Kiba would love seeing all the animals there.
I hope someday we can join the meet ups. I am working on book 2 & editor is cracking her whip! All good really. When is this Pet-expo? I need breaks form work! I have a meeting in Phx May 14th sadly Gwenie can't go with me. I try very hard to stop in my.corgi weekly. Love all these wonderful corgi faces!
Daisie and I had a great time at the PetExpo on Saturday. We met SO many corgis! Were any of them from here? I think Daisie was the only corgi puppy and she got LOTS of attention!
Jax and I were there as well. Jax got tons of attention. It was funny!! We had so many people come up and ask to take Jax's picture. LOL!!!! I'm glad so many corgis made it to the expo!!
Kiba and I were there! I was wearing my Be Humane shirt. Kiba had a lot of fun...loved all the attention and treats he got! I think I ran into you Samantha while you were in the food line if Daisie was the only corgi puppy there. If that was you, she is SUPER cute!!
Hello everyone!!! So happy to find Corgi lovers in Arizona like us!! We are new to this website and have finally gotten our Corgi, Elliot, on Easter this year. We hope to have the opportunity to meet all of the other four legged friends and their pets!
Hi all! Gracie and I probably met a few of you at the Pet Expo! There was a great Corgi turnout. I've been in AZ 8 years and Gracie will be 4 on June 6th! It's nice to meet you all.
Hello Nick & Scoot!! Welcome to Arizona Corgi's!! Hope you 2 are ready for the heat. It's a kick in the rear your first few years here. But so far this year hasn't been too bad. Looking forward to meeting you guys!!! Have a safe move. :)
Hey Everyone! I thought I would let you all know that the Cavalliere Family Farmer's market is doing a pig roast this Sunday from 1-3. It is a pet friendly event - Daisie and I will likely go :)
