Our 5 month old Corgi, Dexter, met his first *other* Corgi last weekend (at least since he left his litter). It was quite funny. We're looking forward to attending a future meet up.
Thanks so much for the welcomes! I will be down in your area at the time for the meet up. However my Rock Star won't be with me. If I can break away, I'd love to come over and meet up with you all. I'll keep watching your link for the time and place.
Jennifer, you may want to check with your vet but ours had told us the shots take 2 weeks to go into effect and for us to wait two weeks after Finn received his last shot before taking him around other dogs. We'd love to meet your pup but I'd hate for her to get sick.
Warner's Momma, we will be at the meet up so we'll see you there!
Your welcome! I really want to meet your puppy as well but better safe than sorry. It's possible that she would be fine but since doctors aren't sure exactly when puppies become imunized it's better not to take a risk. Some people will take their pups out after the 3rd set of shots but the way my vet explained it is that every dog is different as far as when the mother's antibodies wear off and the shots take effect and there is a gap between the two which is when your pup can get sick. My vet said he always recommends waiting until all shots are given and the two week waiting period is up after the last shot. I was nervous with Finnigan because we live in an apartment and we HAVE to take him out to go potty so we always took him to the same spot where not many people took their dogs and luckily he didn't catch anything.
Isn't the Furminator great? It seems like I could brush Finn with it forever and never stop filling it with hair. Finn doesn't like it but I sure do. :)
When I get a corgi I'll buy a kiddie pool for him too. I think it might help with getting used to water at an early age especially since there aren't really any good places to take a dog to water here and I wouldn't want my corgi to swim in a chlorinated pool too much because it can dry out their skin.
And just an update: at the end of this year we will probably buy a house since our lease ends in December and we want to get that $8000 tax return. We would need to hold off on buying a puppy until after we visit my husband's country, the Philippines, because I wouldn't want to leave a puppy with someone else at such a young age. But after that, and once we get some extra money, it will be puppy time!!! :)
Alice-
Hey dont use the the furminator.....alot of corgi's skin is too senistive for it and it rips their hair right out of there skin and can damage their coat... go get a rake and a shedding blade... they are WAY better and you'll twice as much out twice as fast...
My 3 LOVE their pool! We get like 4 at the end of the summer from the grocery store when they're like 1.50 and store them till summer time--- in az you dont have to wait to long-- and they jump in and walk in circles why they drink... wierdos... Does anyone elses corgis do that?
Your lucky. We've completely removed all furminator products from my work because dogs were having such problems with it. on 2 of our corgi's that came in actually had scabs on them because of it. It just freaks me out to even try it on my 3... I'm pretty happy with the rake and shedding blade but the force dryer at my work REALLY gets alot of it out.
just check his skin for red bloches(especially on his back, shoulders, and hips) after you do it to make sure it's not actually pulling anything out and just removing what is already loose. Are you coming to the meet up in scottsdale on the 16th?
Finn hasn't had any problems with the Furminator either. My whole family uses them on their dogs and no one has had nay problems. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll keep watch each time I use just to be sure. :)
I forgot to bring my camera so I have nothing to show. I'd love to see pics too. It was a lot of fun. :)
Mom of 3,
Yes, Finn has to be on my feet at all times when we're at home. If I move to another room he'll get up and follow then plop down on my feet. :)
They had loads of fun. Sorry we couldnt stay longer we hadnt eaten yet. I very excited for the next meet up! Maybe by the next meet up I'll have my new pup! muwhahah!
Warner and Grace are adorable!!! I cant wait to meet Finn!
I got the pictures uploaded to my photo album so everyone go look and I hope you enjoy I think I have them labeled correctly, sorry if I goofed I also have them available on line
Hey guys look in my album at the new corgi pups! If you know anyone who's looking let me know there are 3 girls and 2 boys all AKC tri's. being family raised on a ranch in New River -(just outside of Anthem.)
Did you see the recent blog by someone in NM looking for a puppy? You may want to pass along the info to them since they are willing to drive out here for a pup. I think they mentioned a price range they were looking to stay in too.
