Profile Information:

Hometown:: Glade Valley, NC
About Me:: Just a girl from NC whose life has been touched by the stubby paw of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
About My Corgi(s):: Baxter is a wonderful little guy. I've watched him grow and change from a little fuzzball to a well rounded young dog. He keeps everyone laughing with his antics. He's very smart and picks up on things quickly and he's always wililng to learn new things. Though if he's tired he will complain. He's a laid back pup, loves his naps. Though someone crunching down on a bite of food will bring him out of a deep coma. He's a whole lot of fun and its hard to imagine life before without him in it.

Hi everyone. I've been browsing around the site finding lots of helpful information for the first time corgi owner along with some corgi hilarity. I've been researching this breed for months now and I am just smitten with these little guys. So this is my puppy in the photo, this picture was taken by the breeder this past saturday. I can't wait to snuggle this puff ball.

I am having trouble coming up with a name though...I thought I might ask fellow corgi owners for perhaps some ideas? Anyone have a suggestion? I'd be most grateful.

P.S. - i love the name Peanut but that is only because he is itsy bitsy ... i also love the oddball names like Oscar and Ralphie.

You will chose something great I am sure. Be sure to let us all know what you decide upon!

Hey Nicole, there's actually quite a large Corgi population in NC, one of the member attended a corgi picnic last year and had over 300 corgis attend the event. you can connect with other corgi owners from NC by typing in NC in the search box. Glad you're enjoying the site!

Welcome...you're in for tons of laughs with your little guy. He looks like he's a blue. Pumpkin is as well & also came from N. Carolina, Greensboro. He's just darling, anything we can do just ask.

Thanks! Congrats to you as well! I feel fortunate that I found a great breeder and was able to basically purchase the pup before he was born so I could see him grow up - even if it is just through pictures for a couple months!

Hi Nicole! Welcome to the group. I know you're so excited to get your corgi puppy. You're in for a treat!

I did that for my litter of corgi puppies. I think it helps for the new owners to bond to the puppy before he/she arrives. The last week or 2 will be the hardest to wait.

This is a great place to be to get ready for the new arrival. I have had Corgis for a while now, but I am continually learning something new from the great people on this site. It is hard to wait. We just picked up our new addition this weekend. I can understand how excited you must be! Congratulations!

Last May was our first Corgi litter. Only have had corgis for alittle over 2 years now but you can't get enough of them.
Both of my girls just had their litters today. wasn't expecting for anther week at least, Muffin had 8 and Buttercup had 3 but we lost one.
It will be a ton of fun around here in about 3 weeks when their eyes are open and they want to play

Hi Nicole. . .he is adorable. . . .I'm sure you'll have many, many fun days with your new Corgi. . .Cloe was just spayed on the 8th. . .but she still acts like a puppy (actually, she still is, only 7 mths old). . .when I got her she was 2 mths and full of energy. . .she hasn't stopped. . .she chases Sid and Babs all over the yard. . .they have such a good time together, just "being Corgis". . . .

You're so right, Corgis are potatoe chip dogs. . . .I am so delighted with my pack I'm thinking I might-just might think about getting a 4th baby. . .now it's just a thought, but I just can't help it. . .they are so lovable and soooo much fun to be with. . .I can't stand it!!! LOL. . .you will never regret getting your new baby. . .you will have memorable and enjoyable days ahead. . .good luck--if you have any quesitons or concerns about your new baby, I'm sure you'll get plenting of good advice from everyone here!!!

Thank you for the kind words. We are what some people term as "vet poor" but we wouldn't have it any other way. :-D It's a good thing that I work for a vet and get a discount on services. You can bet that there's no shortage of love in our home.

Er well...before I do that I want to check with the breeder to make sure its okay for me to be posting these pictures, I should have asked for sure. Don't think she will mind, but want to make sure. :) Pictures hopefully soon to come soon. :)
