Profile Information:

Hometown:: North San Diego County
About Me:: I have three teenage kids and I just love being a Mom to a Corgi also! I live in sunny Southern California with the three kids, three dogs, two cats and a most wonderful husband.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No
About My Corgi(s):: Sidney is our first purebred corgi and we are thrilled to have him. He was born 7/11/07. We planned to start him in agility training, but there was a long waiting list. So while waiting for an opening, we took classes for therapy dog training. As it turns out, he's a pretty good therapy dog, so we stuck with that and never got around to agility. Now he is training as a Rally dog. We love it! He's one smart little character! Oh, and he's undocked, so his beautiful tail attracts a lot of attention - good attention.

On August 30th, Sidney suddenly came up lame in his hind left leg. The next day we got xrays for him and found out he has severe hip dysplasia. On Sept 7th he had a Femoral Head Ostectomy to relieve the pain. His right hip is not in great shape either but we're hoping that with glucosamine supplements and exercise we can keep it healthy. *Update* You would never know Sid has surgery now. He moves beautifully. The water therapy and supplements have worked wonders.

Bruce is our corgi/elkhound (?) mix. We rescued him from the brink of euthanasia when he was approximately 10-11 years old (he had a day or two left to go). He's about 16 now and his only sign of his advanced age are bad teeth and slow mornings. I adore Brucie and he worships me. He's my funny short angel with a puffball tail (thanks to the elkhound side). He's about 18 now and going strong.

Chester is our "tall dog". He's a black dane/lab mix that we got from a "free to good home" ad in the local newspaper. He's also old, about 15 years old. We know his age because we've had him 14 years, and he was an adult when we brought him home! He's a very serious dog and not very affectionate compared to the corgis, but he has been a very good dog, just aloof. We can't take Chester as many places as the shorties because he does not travel well. He's almost 17 now and has definitely slowed down. *UPDATE* Chester had a sudden decline and was sent to the bridge on April 15th 2013 at the age of 17.

In February 2013 we added Connie to our family. She's a little tri corgi who was picked up as a stray and put up for adoption at our local Humane Society. She's a real sweet girl and loves to play ball. She's learning a lot from Sidney about life here. We can't believe that her family never came to claim her.She's got good manners and she gets along well with the other dogs and the cats, and everyone she meets is her best friend.

And the pack grows! In November we took in a black-headed tri who we named Copper. He and Connie were both born in 2009 and they are great buddies and a ball-chasing tag team. Copper is sweet and cuddly and eager to please.
I have:: Pembroke

just wanted to say hi, I don't have the right software for the new chat :( i hope you are doing well! I think that I am getting a pem now. I took my boyfriend to a dog show where he got to meet both types and he preffered the pems. and also with the confusion of when my breeder was going to have a litter. we are talking about getting our puppy from the same breeder that Bailey from San Fransisco came from. I had contacted her early on because I absolutely love bailey. but I still haven't decided yet. I still love the cardi... oh it is so hard! anyway i hope all is well with you! take care!

You have three teenagers, three dogs, so you should add one kitty and then you would have three cats.....and it would even things out, hehe.

Rambo

Rambo is okay now, he is normal happy himself but there is still bleed in his pee, so we cant get a new sample of his pee to take it to vet to analysis it. I hope that Rambo can pee normally tomorrow so we can take a sample of his pee.

You had asked what my corgi;s names are. The 5 year old is Blitzen. He was born on Christmas day and is a trained therapy dog. Wonderful personality.. very calm dog who does great with people in the hospital. The 4 month old is Pilgim (born on Thanksgiving). He is a very active puppy who thinks he is king of the world. I am loking for an agility park to help him run off his energy.

Stephanie & Bonnie Fox

Thank you! Sydney is a beautiful boy! We had always thought we'd get a red/white but Bonnie convinced us otherwise... :D
I was actually wondering when to start agility and obedience training too

Apr 1, 2009
Stephanie & Bonnie Fox

We also have two cats, Kabuki and Mazzy, Kabuki really doesn't like Bon all that much, He's slow too warm up and share and the chasing doesn't help matters either. How did you get yours to get along?

Apr 1, 2009
Stephanie & Bonnie Fox

I bet! They've never had an actual fight either and buki will usually jump up somewhere to get away too if he's had enough. they are getting used to each other but it's slow going. Thanks for the advice- we'll be looking into good but affordable training soon!
